Long-term growth and cloning of non-transformed lymphocytes

Nature volume 294, pages 697–699 (1981)Cite this article

Abstract

The diversity of lymphocytes has made it difficult to study the properties of a specific lymphocyte type. Here we describe methods used in long-term culture and cloning of T lymphocytes and discuss the potential uses of these cell lines in immunology.
