Abstract: | Summary An established immunoglobulin-producing human cell line exhibits a variety of morphological entities described as reticular,
lymphoid, and plasmacytoid cells. Transitional forms are frequent, and time lapse photomicrography experiments demonstrate
morphological interconversion. The round forms and their morphological precursors synthesize immunoglubulin and constitute
about 44% of the cell population. This cell line displays a variety of morphological and functional properties assigned to
in vivo lymphoid cell series. It is proposed as an in vitro model for the study of lymphoid cells.
