Abstract
The number of T and B rosette-forming cells (T- and B-RFC) in guinea pigs was determined after sensitization with ragweed (Ambrosia artemisifolia L.) pollen. The number of B-RFC in the regional lymph nodes in the early stages of sensitization was shown to be 4 times greater than the number of B-RFC in normal animals. The functional capacity of the T-cells, assessed by the rosette-formation test, showed a more marked change after sensitization than the corresponding capacity of the B-cells.
