Abstract
Two phytomitogens have been described which stimulate blastogenesis and mitosis of human peripheral blood lymphocytes: phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) from Phaseolus vulgaris1 and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) of Phytolacca americana2. Recently we have discovered mitogenic Properties in seed extracts of Wistaria floribunda (syn.: Wisteria floribunda, Japanese wisteria).
