We have shown previously (Ye, Q-W., and Mokyr, M. B. Cancer Res., 44: 3873-3879, 1984) that, following low-dose cyclophosphamide (CY) therapy (15 mg/kg) of mice bearing a large s.c. MOPC-315 tumor and extensive metastases, T-cell-dependent immunopotentiating activity appears in their hitherto immunosuppressive Sephadex G-10-adherent spleen cell population. Here we show that the CY-induced immunopotentiating T-cells express the Lyt 1, Lyt 2, and L3T4 phenotypes. The phenotype of the immunopotentiating T-cells was deduced from our observations that depletion of Lyt 1+, Lyt 2+, or L3T4+ cells from the Sephadex G-10-adherent spleen cell population of CY-treated tumor bearers abolished the ability of the adherent cells to enhance the generation of antitumor cytotoxicity when added to the in vitro immunization culture of normal spleen cells. Moreover, admixture of a Sephadex G-10-adherent cell population depleted of Lyt 2+ cells with a Sephadex G-10-adherent cell population depleted of L3T4+ cells failed to restore the immunopotentiating activity, indicating that T-cells that are apparently expressing simultaneously the Lyt 2 and L3T4 antigens are required for the exertion of the CY-induced immunopotentiating activity. The CY-induced immunopotentiating T-cells from MOPC-315 tumor bearers brought about the appearance of enhanced antitumor cytotoxicity not only against the MOPC-315 tumor cells, but also against two other syngeneic plasmacytomas, with surface immunoglobulin of a different class and antigenic specificity than the MOPC-315 tumor cells, as well as against a variant MOPC-315 tumor line which lacks surface immunoglobulin. The CY-induced immunopotentiating T-cells did not enhance the appearance of antitumor cytotoxicity against a syngeneic (WEHI 22.1) or an allogeneic (EL4) tumor of T-cell origin nor against the natural killer-sensitive YAC-1 cells. Thus, L3T4+, Lyt2+ T-cells from CY-treated MOPC-315 tumor bearers enhance the generation of antitumor cytotoxicity that is directed against plasmacytoma shared antigens other than immunoglobulins.
