  1. 1T-cells isolated from human fetal chord blood.
  2. 2B-cells immortalized by infection with transforming EBV.
  3. 3Monocyte/Macrophages, adherent cells stimulated with PMA.
  4. 4Recently isolated neuronal cells from fetal human brain.
  5. 5Freshly isolated liver cells from liver biopsies. Kupffer's cells are liver macrophages and Hepatocytes are liver endothelial cells.
