Lymphocytes have their membrane potential changed during transition from the resting to the active state. On these grounds, we investigated the response of human peripheral lymphocytes to a depolarizing high-potassium (102.7 mM) medium, by assaying cellular incorporation of labeled thymidine and interferon (IFN) release in the culture medium. The greatest effect is evident 3-4 days after preincubation for 120 min in high K+ medium. A temporal correlation has been observed between rate of DNA synthesis and IFN production. The IFN activity is shown to be gamma-type

Abstract
Lymphocytes have their membrane potential changed during transition from the resting to the active state. On these grounds, we investigated the response of human peripheral lymphocytes to a depolarizing high-potassium (102.7 mM) medium, by assaying cellular incorporation of labeled thymidine and interferon (IFN) release in the culture medium. The greatest effect is evident 3-4 days after preincubation for 120 min in high K+ medium. A temporal correlation has been observed between rate of DNA synthesis and IFN production. The IFN activity is shown to be gamma-type
