Method Abstract: "The rates of different ATP-consuming reactions were measured in concanavalin A-stimulated thymocytes, a model system in which more than 80% of the ATP consumption can be accounted for."
Comments P.164 left column 2nd paragraph: "The basal respiration rate of quiescent thymocytes was 4.12±0.19 nmol of 02/min per 5x10^7 cells. Addition of Con A stimulated this within seconds by about 31 % to 5.41±0.18 nmol of 02/min per 5x10^7 cells (mean+S.E.M. for 16 cell preparations)." See note above table
