In this third paper on the kinetics of lymphocyte stimulation we present a simple stochastic model for the entry of mitogen stimulated human lymphocytes into the proliferative cycle. The model is based on the assumption that responder 'recruitment' is a process of simple exponential decay. The model can be applied to the initial rapid rise in thymidine uptake after stimulation and successfully predicts the behavior of colchicine inhibited mitogen responses. Application of the model allows the estimation of the following constants; the size of the responding clone, the rate of entry of committed cells into the initial cell cycle, the duration of the lag period before uptake of thymidine increases above background and the average duration of thymidine uptake in responding lymphocytes (Ts). If we analyze the experimental results of mitogen stimulation experiments in these terms we can show that the first three constants are sensitive functions of both the dose of mitogen and the source of the responding lymphocytes. The most interesting finding may be the fact that low doses of mitogen seem to decrease the rate of entry of committed lymphocytes into cell cycle. This would imply that the rate determining step in this process is not of an all or none type.
