IMMUNE RESPONSES IN VITRO

IX. ABSENCE OF THE MIXED LEUKOCYTE STIMULATORY, M-LOCUS PRODUCT FROM THYMUS CELLS

Robert E Click 1
PMCID: PMC2139686  PMID: 4275313

Abstract

The mixed leukocyte reaction stimulatory M-locus product of DBA/2 spleen cells was absent from thymus cells. The absence of stimulation was not a result of suppressor T cells. These findings are discussed in relation to the divergent specificity found for the inductive and effector phases of cell-mediated responses.
