Variable capacity of L3T4+ T cells to cause lethal graft-versus-host disease across minor histocompatibility barriers in mice. 1987

R Korngold, and J Sprent

Highly purified populations of L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ T cell subsets were compared for their capacity to cause lethal GVHD in six different H-2-compatible, multiple minor histocompatibility antigen-different murine strain combinations. In four of these combinations (C3H.SW----B6, DBA/2----B10.D2, B10.BR----CBA, and B10.S----SJL), lethal GVHD appeared to be caused almost entirely by Lyt-2+ cells; the injection of L3T4+ cells resulted in low mortality even when these cells were presensitized to the recipient antigens. In the remaining two combinations (B10.D2----DBA/2 and B10.D2----BALB/c), L3T4+ T cells were able to cause a high incidence of GVHD and were more potent than the Lyt-2+ cells. The implications of these findings are discussed.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
