ACTIVATION OF MURINE LYMPHOCYTES BY THE HEAVY METAL MITOGENS, ZINC AND MERCURY DIVALENT CATIONS.

Splenic and lymph node lymphocytes from Balb/C mice were activated in vitro by the heavy metal cations, Zn⁺⁺ and Hg⁺⁺, as noted by the several-fold increases in ³H-thymidine incorporation at 144 hours of culture. Optimal mitogenic concentrations of Zn⁺⁺ and Hg⁺⁺ were 200 μM and 10 μM, respectively....
