At a scientific meeting in 1968, Jacques Miller was accused of complicating immunology. He and others suggested that there was not one but two kinds of lymphocytes--one from the thymus and one from the bone marrow. In a pair of groundbreaking articles published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine in 1968, Miller and his student Graham Mitchell proved that two subsets of lymphocytes did exis...

The biology of lymphocytes is regulated by a large and seemi& growing number of soluble and cell-associated species. A current list includes: interleukins IL l-7, interferons, antigen and perhaps CD4 and cytokines derived from non-lymphoid tissues such as neuropepride, steroid and admnergic hormones. The quality and quantity of regulators present in the B cell milieu during an immunologic insul...

A method to determine low density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake of distinct lymphocyte subpopulations was developed using fluorescent LDL and subsequent staining of lymphocyte subsets with biotinylated monoclonal antibodies plus streptavidin-CyChrome. LDL uptake was detected on a single cell level and semiquantified by FACS analysis. This method allows comparison of defined lymphocyte subsets from d...
