The phytohaemagglutinin‐induced lymphocyte stimulation was studied in the presence of various types of blood cells. The response of purified lymphocytes to PHA was reduced compared with the response of lymphocytes from buffy coat of whole blood. When red cells were added to the purified lymphocytes the response was restored. Leucocytes also had some restoring effect.
