Abstract
PHYTOHAEMAGGLUTININ is known to stimulate the human peripheral blood lymphocytes to enlarge and divide1. The process of the morphological transformation2 of these cells through nucleolated prolymphocytes into blastoid cells is accompanied by cytochemical3 changes and the acquisition of the ability to synthesize RNA and DNA4–6.
