| Abstract: | Determinants controlled by the I region of the murine H-2 complex provoked the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in both a secondary and primary mixed lymphocyte culture. The stimulating determinants appeared to be controlled by loci within the I-A subregion. The target antigens of the CTL generated were present on both lipopolysaccharide- and concanavalin-induced blast lymphocytes, but were barely detectable on phytohemagglutinin-induced blast cells. The stimulating capacity for CTL induction of a complete H-2 complex incompatibility by far exceeded the sum of H-2D/K-region and I-region incompatibility, respectively. |
