- Title
In Vivo Responses of Alloreactive Lymphocytes Stimulated In Vitro.

- Abstract
Mouse lymphocytes that have been primed in vitro against alloantigens show a specific increase in cells reactive to the printing antigens in mixed lymphocyte response (MLR) and include cells that are specifically cytotoxic in vitro. The primed population also contains cells capable of causing rejection of skin grafts when injected into nude mice. Functional enrichment of cells capable of rejecting skin grafts bearing specific alloantigens and depletion of cells capable of rejecting a third-party graft have been shown. Priming the cells a second time in vitro may result in a moderate enrichment of cells capable of rejecting the specific graft and depletion of cells reactive to third-party skin compared with once-primed cells. These findings support the prediction that the MLR is an in vitro model of allograft responses in vivo.
