Abstract
WITH respect to maturation stage, function, and cell surface constituents, lymphocytes bearing immunglobulin on their (B cells) comprise a heterogenous population. It has been suggested1 that binding of mitogens to membrane surface surface constituents triggers the events leading to stimulation of cell mitosis. The various B cell mitogens can be divided into different chemical classes and different types of mitogens presumably react with different membrane surface constituents. According to these assumptions we tested whether various B cell mitogens act on the same or on different subpopulations of B cells.
