Abstract
The rate of spontaneous 51Cr release from spleen cell and LPS blast target cells is strongly temperature dependent. Between 32 and 37 °C the rate of spontaneous release increases dramatically with temperature. Cytolytic T-lymphocyte-mediated lysis of these target cells is also temperature dependent, but lysis does not increase greatly above 32 °C. The ratio of specific 51Cr release to spontaneous release can be significantly improved by doing 51Cr-release assays at temperatures below 37 °C.
