The possibilities of separation of haemopoietic cells from lymphocytes capable of eliciting the graft-versus-host reaction through column chromatography were investigated. Strain-A mouse spleen cells were fractionated into the adherent and non-adherent fraction on Sephadex G-25, glass bead columns and glass beads coated with antibody against mouse globulin. Increased numbers of cells forming haemopoietic colonies were found in the cell fraction which did not adhere to the antibody-coated glass beads and in cells reversibly adhering to glass beads. No significant decrease in local graft-versus-host reaction was found in any fraction obtained, and the prolonged survival of irradiated semiallogeneic recipients was observed in both fractions obtained on Sephadex G-25 columns.
