Viable suspensions of human colonic mucosal lymphoid cells were prepared by sequential treatment of tissue with dithiothreitol, EDTA in Ca,- and Mg-free salt solutions and purified collagenase. The intestinal lymphocyte population, in comparison with that of peripheral blood, had greater numbers of bone marrow-derived cells, particularly cells bearing membrane Ig[immunoglobulin]A; showed spontaneous association with macrophages; underwent rapid rosette formation with sheep erythrocytes; and demonstrated increased in vitro synthesis of Ig. Total thymus-derived cells were equal in the 2 populations. Decreases were found in null cell numbers, in cells bearing membrane IgD and IgM, and in responsiveness to phytohemagglutinin. Macrophage/monocytes in the intestinal population were increased in size, granularity, motility, sustained glass adherence and phagocytic activity. Human intestinal lymphoid cells appear to constitute a cell population that is more mature and/or activated in comparison with the lymphoid cells of peripheral blood. The method of preparation should lend itself to the study of inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal cancer and the intestinal secretory immune system.
