After specific activation by antigen, B cells differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells under the influence of a variety of factors (iymphokines) secreted by inducer/helper T cells (1-3). It is not yet clear how many lymphokines are specific for B cells but one, IL-2, has been shown to bind to both activated B cells and activated T cells (4-7), suggesting that at least one lymphokine r...

To overcome this deficiency, we provide a formal definition of...
