T and B lymphocytes in human periphery blood were seperated by rosetting procedure. After lymphocytes were labelled with T
4

McAB
T
4

and non-T
4
+
lymphocytes were isolated by cell affinity chromatography method. When parts of T
B. T
4
+
and non-T
4
+
cells were exposed to 10 Gy
60
Co γ-rays
the function of pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and
60
Coγ-rays irradiation effect on lymphocytes were investigated by technique of
3
H-TdR incorporation.
The results showed that PWM can induce both T and B lymphocytes but B lymphocytes were more sensitive to PWM. The response of B lymphocytes to PWM was the same as that of non-T
4
+
cells
the response of T
4
+
cells to PWM was the lowest. DNA synthesis of both T and T
4
+
lymphocytes were synergistic to B lymphocytes. The synergistic effect in T and B lymphocytes was more strong than that in T
4
+
and B lymphocytes. When T and T
4
+
or B lymphocytes were irradiated by 10 Gy
60
Co γ-rays
the synergistic effect disappeared. Neither synergistic nor suppressive effect was found between non-T
4
+
and B lymphocytes. When T
4
+
B and non-T
4
+
lymphocytes had been exposed to 10 Gy irradiation
the percentage suppression of
3
H-TdR incorpora tion between B and non-T
4
+
lymphocytes had no significant difference but was higher than that in T
