The effect of levamisole on E-rosette formation by trypsinized lymphocytes.

Normal lymphocytes treated with trypsin lost their ability to form normal numbers of rosettes with sheep red blood cells. The recovery in E-rosette forming capacity of trypsinized cells was considerably augmented when the cells were incubated in the presence of a wide range of concentrations of the immunostimulatory drug, levamisole. Substantial recovery of rosette-forming ability was seen 2 hr after incubation of trypsinized cells with levamisole.
