We shall present the case for the lymphocyte population of the mouse as material for studying the molecular biology of cellular differentiation. This will be discussed from the viewpoint that mechanisms established for the various cell populations cx) llectively termed'lymphocytes' may be relevant to differentiation generally.The importance of selecting suitable systems for investigating cellular differentiation is obvious. Each of the better known models has its attraction. The slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum, offers the advantages of a primitive organism in which the essentials of cellular differentiation are represented without the elaborations of more highly evolved forms. The T/t locus of the mouse is prominent as a model of embryogenetic differentiation, in an organism phylogenetically close to man himself. We describe here several unique opportimities afforded by the mouse lympho^ cyte model.
