A homogeneous population of small lymphocytes with ar average size of 6.7 microns was isolated from equine blood and maintained in vitro with essentially complete survival for 24 hr. with a 50% viability for 5 days. The small lymphocytes consumed glucose at a rate of 1.87 m umoles/1 X 107 cells/minute, and produced lactic acid at a rate of 2.30 m umoles/1 X 107 cells/ minute. The O2 consumption of small equine lymphocytes was 1.023 [plus or minus] .165 m [mu]moles oxygen 1 X 107 cells/minute, and that of mixed peripheral blood leukocytes, 1.25 [plus or minus] .07 m [mu]moles oxygen/1 X 107 cells/ minute, as determined using a Clark oxygen electrode. Lymphocyte glycolysis was stimulated under anaerobic conditions (Pasteur effect), and viability was unimpaired after 24 hr. in a N2 environment. Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation by the addition of 2,4 dinitro-phenol stimulated both respiration and glycolysis. The glycogen content of the normal small horse lymphocyte was 7.45 [plus or minus] 1.04 ug glucose equivalents per 1 X 107 cells. Many of the initial cell population were transformed into "blasts" following the addition of phytohemag-glutin to the tissue culture medium. This response was associated with an increase in the rate of glycolysis and respiration by 24 hr. and a rise in intracellular glycogen by 48 hr.
