Cell-mediated immunity: differential maturation of mixed leukocyte reaction and cell-mediated lympholysis

PMCID: PMC2189972  PMID: 127825

Abstract

While spleen cells from neonatal B10 (H-2b) are reactive (proliferate) in one-way mixed leukocyte culture, cell-mediated lympholysis reactivity does not arise until 7 days of age. When B10 cells are sensitized to B10.D2 (H-2d), cross-killing of third-party B10.BR (H-2k) target is always lower than the specific killing of B10.D2 targets and is not demonstrable until 27 days after birth.
