A TP-1C phage-resistant mutant (4S Ton-r) releases relatively large amounts of CF into the culture medium but is not infected with TP-1C phage DNA, even in the presence of CF. The...

Competence of the spleen to evoke a graft versus host reaction in vitro was lost upon sublethal irradiation (550 R). Regeneration of immune competence occurred when such spleens were grown for 2-3 days in the presence of thymus tissue, but not when grown in the presence of a ...
