Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method of producing growth factors for mammalian cells. More particularly, the method of the present invention comprises isolating mammalian inducer T-lymphocytes, and stimulating growth factor production by contacting these inducer lymphocytes with an antigen or a mitogen. The resulting growth factors are then separated from the material produced by the stimulated lymphocytes.
