Suppressor T cells activated in a primary in vitro response to non- major histocompatibility alloantigens
نویسندگان
چکیده
Normal mouse spleen cells are not capable of mounting a primary cytotoxic T lymphocyte (Tc) response to non-H-2 alloantigens in vitro, although a good secondary H-2-restricted response is observable after in vivo immunization of the responder animals. Suppressor cells are generated in such a primary responses provided a Mls incompatibility exists between the responder and stimulator. These suppressors are not antigen specific, are Thy-1+, Lyt-1+, 2-, I-J-, and are highly radiosensitive. The suppressor cell precursors in normal spleen express the same phenotype. These suppressor cells are probably implicated in the lack of a primary Tc response in a primary mixed lymphocyte reaction across non-H-2 incompatibilities that include an Mls difference.

Primary in vitro cytotoxic T cell response to non-major histocompatibility complex alloantigens in normal mice
We have shown for the first time that it is possible to consistently generate a primary in vitro cytotoxic T cell (Tc) response to non-major histocompatibility complex alloantigens using responder cells from a normal mouse strain. This was achieved by carrying out, in the generating phase, a limiting dilution procedure in which it appears that suppressor cells that inhibit Tc activation or expa...
متن کاملCharacterization of two distinct primary T cell populations that secrete interleukin 2 upon recognition of class I or class II major histocompatibility antigens
This study has characterized the primary T cell subpopulations that secrete IL-2 in response to recognition of either class I or class II MHC encoded determinants. The addition to culture of anti-IL-2-R mAb inhibited the consumption of IL-2 by activated lymphocytes during the response period, permitting a much more accurate assessment of the amount of IL-2 produced in the response cultures. Usi...

Recent results have indicated that murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL)' reactive against alloantigens as coded for in the K and D region ofthe major histocompatibility complex (MHC), belong to a minor T-cell subset expressing the Ly23+ phenotype, whereas proliferative responses to I region coded determinants are carried out mainly by T cells expressing the Lyl+ phenotype (1, 2) . There is also...
متن کاملImmune response genes controlling responsiveness to major transplantation antigens. Specific major histocompatibility complex- linked defect for antibody responses to class I alloantigens
We have identified two major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-linked Ir genes that control the antibody response made by rats against class I major alloantigens. We have named these genes Ir-RT1Aa and Ir-RT1Ac. These Ir genes determine responsiveness of the immunized animal in a typical codominant fashion. There is no evidence so far for trans-complementation between low-responder haplotypes. D...
متن کاملHistocompatibility antigen-activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes. I. Estimates of the absolute frequency of killer cells generated in vitro
A sensitive procedure employing limiting dilution of activated lymphocytes and 51Cr release from highly labeled target cells was used to derive minimal estimates of the absolute frequency of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) present in a population of mouse lymphocytes activated to alloantigens of the major histocompatibility complex in bulk mixed lymphocyte cultures. From this figure (0.7-1.2%), t...
