The prepara-tion was homogeneous by ultracentrifugal analysis and disc electrophoresis, and had a i2o, w value of 4.5 S. This purified mitogen was found to contain 11.4% carbohydrate in which mannose(5.8%) and glucosamine (3.5%) were the predomi-nant sugars, with smaller amounts of arabinose, fucose, and xylose. Morphological studies on mitogen-stimulated cultures indicated that at 72 hr about 70% of the cell population had been transformed by the purified mitogen. In the inhibition assays of [3H] thymidine incorporation by sugars, the stimula-tory activity of the purified W. floribunda mitogen as well as those of the other three nonspecific mitogens (concanava-
