Abstract
The products of the DC locus have been shown to be structurally different from those of the DR locus. In this paper it is shown that, unlike anti-DR antibodies, a monoclonal antibody directed against DC1 does not affect proliferation of T cells in response to alloantigens or soluble antigens or production of Ig in a pokeweed mitogen-stimulated in vitro culture. However, the anti-DC1 inhibits the generation of effector T cells mediating specific cytolytic activity, whereas no inhibitory effect can be observed on natural killer and antibody- dependent cytotoxic cell activities.
