...after retrieving the lymphocyte fraction from a Ficoll gradient, run 
everything over a nylon wool column: I know that the B-cells and 
monocytes are nylon wool adherent, while the T- and NK cells will pass 
through as nonadherent cells (I think you can find more about this in 
Current Protocols in Immunology or something...unfortunately, I don't 
have a lot of the details myself).

Hope this helps a bit,
