Studies on Lymphocyte Subpoulations in Primates Ⅰ.The Determination of SRBC,SMRBC and ZYC Rosette Formation Cell in Peripheral Blood and Lymphoid Tissues

The lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood of Macaca mulatta,M.assamensis,M.nemestrina,M.speciosa and Tupaia belangeri and in lymphoid tissues of M.mulatta were determined with markesr,such as AET or neuraminidase treated sheep red blood cell (EAET or EVCN),zymosan-yeast-complement complex (ZYC) and stump-tailed m nkey (M.speciosa) red blood cell (SMRBC).The main results of peripheral blood lymphocytes were seen in Table 3.The percentages of EAET RFC in thymus,spleen and lymph node of M.mulatta were 95.2±2.9,28.8±10.3 and 44.8±6.2,respectively.The double marking with ZYC and SMRBC showed that SMRBC rosette formation cells of M.mulatta were not B cells.Finally,the results were compared with those from other authors.
