Responder cells in the human autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction.

RESUMO
Isolated human T4+ cells proliferate in the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR), whereas isolated T8+ cells do not. However, in the presence of Interleukin 2 or T4+ cells, the T8+ cells demonstrated substantial proliferation. These studies suggest that T8+ cells recognize signals from autologous non-T cells, but require an additional factor for the subsequent proliferative response. Since this stimulus can be provided by T4+ cells, the AMLR appears to constitute an inducer circuit. Different defects in this circuit may be responsible for the common abnormality of the AMLR in different diseases.
