Ly phenotype of cytotoxic T cells for syngeneic tumor

PMCID: PMC2190425  PMID: 62011

Abstract

Our present and previous findings may be summarized as follows: The phenotype of C57BL/6 (B6) cytotoxic cells for allogeneic target cells is Thy-1+, Ly-1- Ly-2/3+, MSLA+, and Ig-. the phenotype of B6 cytotoxic cells for syngeneic tumor cells is Thy-1+, Ly-1+, Ly-2/3+, MSLA+, and Ig-. The phenotype of B6 cytotoxic cells for syngeneic tumor cells is Thy-1+, Ly-1+, Ly-2/3+, MSLA+, AND Ig-. Thus, differences in Ly phenotype appear to be exhibited not only by cytotoxic T cells as opposed to helper T cells, but also within subcategories of cytotoxic T cells.
