- Title
T Cell-dependent Mediator in the Immune Response.
- Authors
WALDMANN, H.; MUNRO, A.
- Abstract
SUPERNATANTS of allogeneic lymphocyte cultures enable bone-marrow derived (lymphocytes) to respond to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) in vitro1-3. It was suggested that a non-specific T cell-dependent mediator may be involved in the normal immune response to this antigen. Indeed, T cells educated to one erythrocyte antigen can, in the presence of that antigen, greatly facilitate the response of B cells to other non-cross reacting erythrocytes4,5. T cells educated to protein antigens can also generate such a non-specific event in the interaction of T and B cells in vitro6. The following experiments were designed to establish whether in this syngeneic system the phenomenon was dependent on the production of soluble mediators after activation of T cells by protein antigen.
