Regulation of the immune response in man is dependent on interactions between cells of helper/inducer (Leu-3+/T4+) lineage and cells of suppressor/cytotoxic (Leu-2+/T8+) lineage. By using the mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) as a model system, we have shown previously that alloantigen-primed Leu-3+ cells induce autologous Leu-2+ cells to differentiate into suppressor T cells that specifically inhibit the response of fresh T cells to the original allogeneic stimulator cells. The current study was undertaken to analyze the roles in this suppressor circuit of subpopulations of Leu-3+ cells distinguished from one another on the basis of their binding or lack of binding to monoclonal anti-Leu-8 antibody. Although both Leu-3+,8- and Leu-3+,8+ T cells proliferated in allogeneic MLR, alloactivated Leu-3+,8+ cells alone induced proliferation and differentiation of Leu-2+ suppressor cells. Leu-3+,8+ cells also induced Leu-3+,8- cells to proliferate, and following their activation in this manner, such autoactivated Leu-3+,8- cells augmented the differentiation of Leu-2+ suppressor cells, but only in the presence of alloactivated Leu-3+,8+ cells. Furthermore, this effect, like the suppressor effect, was specific for the inducer cells, and thus indirectly for the HLA-DR antigens of the original allogeneic stimulator cells as well. These results indicate that alloantigen-primed Leu-3+,8+ cells not only activate specific Leu-2+ suppressor cells but also activate specific Leu-3+,8- suppressor-amplifier cells, and in combination, these cells exert potent feedback inhibition of MLR.

D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

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.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules.
