The ability of murine Kupffer cells to function in several in vitro immunologic systems was investigated. These cells have been shown previously to function as accessory cells in antigen-stimulated T cell proliferation in response to protein antigens. In the present study it has been demonstrated that murine Kupffer cells also are competent as accessory cells in in vitro primary antibody responses to TNP-KLH and for T cell proliferative responses to concanavalin A. In addition, murine Kupffer cells were found to be potent stimulators of mixed lymphocyte responses. These studies extend previous observations by demonstrating that Kupffer cells are competent accessory cells in several distinct in vitro correlates of in vivo immune responses. The role of Kupffer cells in in vivo immune responses, particularly those to enterically derived antigens, may require re-evaluation in the light of these findings.
