Abstract

The effect of different concentration of concanavalin A on intracellular pH of rat thymocytes has been studied by means of fluorescent probe 9-aminoacridine. It has been shown that the addition of mitogen to cells results in an increase of pH value inside the thymocytes. The value of pH changes depends on the concentration of concanavalin A.
