Abstract: | Murine bone marrow cells (strain A) have been allowed to differentiate in vivo in syngeneic (A) or semiallogeneic hosts (A × B) to produce mature splenic T lymphocytes. After stimulation of these cells with irradiated allogeneic (C) spleen cells in tissue cultures, the cytotoxic T-cell blasts (CTL) were purified by velocity sedimentation and used to immunize (A × C) F1 hybrid mice, to produce antisera recognizing the receptor structure (for C) on the relevant A cytotoxic cells (and their precursors). Using these sera we have been able to show that the T-cell receptor for alloantigen C on strain A cytotoxic precursor lymphocytes (CTLp) seems to differ according to the host environment in which those T cells differentiate from immature bone marrow precursors. |
