Abstract
Cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes play a critical role in the host response to infection by viruses. The ability to secrete cytotoxic chemicals and cytokines is considered pivotal for eliminating virus. Of equal importance is how effector CD8+ T cells home to virus-infected tissues. L-selectin has not been considered important for effector T cell homing, because levels are low on activated T cells. We report here that, although L-selectin expression is downregulated following T cell priming in lymph nodes, L-selectin is re-expressed on activated CD8+ T cells entering the bloodstream, and recruitment of activated CD8+ T cells from the bloodstream into virus-infected tissues is L-selectin dependent. Furthermore, L-selectin on effector CD8+ T cells confers protective immunity to two evolutionally distinct viruses, vaccinia and influenza, which infect mucosal and visceral organs, respectively. These results connect homing and a function of virus-specific CD8+ T cells to a single molecule, L-selectin. L-selectin is re-expressed on activated CD8+ T cells exiting lymph nodes L-selectin does not regulate priming, differentiation, or function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes Entry of activated CD8+ T cells into virus-infected tissues is L-selectin dependent The level of cell-surface L-selectin determines the extent of anti-viral immunity

Abstract
As lymphocytes recirculate through the blood tissues and lymph they are sorted into populations which have varying morphological and functional characteristics. Lymphocytes are added, deleted and transformed within the lymphoid apparatus as a consequence of non-random migration and antigenic stimulation. There is evidence that the physiological characteristics of peripheral and central lymph nodes vary as a result of differences in the origins of the cells entering the nodes. Lymphocytes enter the lymph nodes from the blood and lymph in varying numbers; consequently the cell population in the efferent lymph of central and peripheral lymyph nodes contains different proportions of blood-borne and lymph-borne cells. Cells arriving in lymph nodes by way of the blood or the lymph migrate differently within the node. Those entering from the blood go principally to the paracortex and the follicular areas. Lymphocytes entering in the lymph are distributed through both the cortex and the medulla. In humoral antibody responses and in the response that occurs during the rejection of a renal allograft, lymph-borne cells populate the medullary cords, cortex and germinal centres of the nodes they enter. Within these nodes, new populations of cells are generated which have different functional attributes from the cells which provoked their formation.

Abstract
The early work on lymphocyte recirculation assumed that all recirculating lymphocytes composed a common pool and that the composition of this pool could be inferred from studies on thoracic duct lymph. These propositions are examined in the light of more recent evidence, particularly from experiments on the traffic of lymphocytes through the lamina propria of the small intestine. There has been little speculation on the functional significance of lymphocyte recirculation apart from the suggestion that it increases the efficiency of regional immune responses by allowing antigen-induced selection of precursors from pool larger than that accommodated by the regional nodes alone. In addition, the mounting of a local immunity is dependent on a peripheral recirculation through the tissues, notably in the case of the secretory immune system of the intestine.

Abstract
The initiation of an immune response requires that professional antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, physically interact with antigen-specific T cells within the complex environment of the lymph node. Although the way in which antigen is presented to T cells and in particular the cellular associations involved in antigen-specific stimulation events have been extensively investigated, data on antigen presentation have come primarily from studies in vitro or examination of the late consequences of antigen presentation in vivo. However, there is increasing recognition that events defined in vitro might not correspond entirely to the physiological situation in vivo. Recent developments in imaging technology now allow real-time observation of single-cell and molecular interactions in intact lymphoid tissues and have already contributed to a more detailed picture of how cells coordinate the initiation or suppression of an immune response.

Abstract
The recirculation of T cells between the blood and secondary lymphoid organs requires that T cells are motile and sensitive to tissue-specific signals. T cell motility has been studied in vitro, but the migratory behavior of individual T cells in vivo has remained enigmatic. Here, using intravital two-photon laser microscopy, we imaged the locomotion and trafficking of naive CD4(+) T cells in the inguinal lymph nodes of anesthetized mice. Intravital recordings deep within the lymph node showed T cells flowing rapidly in the microvasculature and captured individual homing events. Within the diffuse cortex, T cells displayed robust motility with an average velocity of approximately 11 microm x min(-1). T cells cycled between states of low and high motility roughly every 2 min, achieving peak velocities >25 microm x min(-1). An analysis of T cell migration in 3D space revealed a default trafficking program analogous to a random walk. Our results show that naive T cells do not migrate collectively, as they might under the direction of pervasive chemokine gradients. Instead, they appear to migrate as autonomous agents, each cell taking an independent trafficking path. Our results call into question the role of chemokine gradients for basal T cell trafficking within T cell areas and suggest that antigen detection may result from a stochastic process through which a random walk facilitates contact with antigen-presenting dendritic cells.

Abstract
Memory is a hallmark of the immune system. Considerable progress has been made towards understanding B cell memory, but T cell memory remains poorly understood and its nature is controversial. There is good evidence that B cell memory is driven by antigen, but the antigen dependence of T cell memory is still being debated. For several years we have investigated the nature, duration and antigen dependence of different aspects of CD8+ T cell memory and this review will discuss our findings as well as how and why they differ from some other results. As others, we find that antigen, due to proliferation of antigen-specific T cell clones, induces a shift in the T cell repertoire which remains detectable for years as an elevated cytotoxic T cell precursor frequency (CTLp) in lymphoid organs. Also in the absence of antigen, in vitro assays for T cell memory which invariably isolate memory T cells from these lymphoid organs therefore remain positive. In contrast, immunity against reinfection with a pathogen requires more than just elevated numbers of CTLp in lymphoid organs. Since reinfection usually takes place via peripheral nonlymphoid tissue, these CTLp have to a) efficiently extravasate and patrol through such tissues, and b) be immediately able to exert effector function in case of reinfection. Both functions, require a certain level of activation which critically depends on T cell stimulation by persisting antigen.

Abstract
Long-term H-2-heterozygous a----(a x b)F1 bone marrow (BM) chimeras prepared with supralethal irradiation (1,300 rad) are devoid of Ia+ host BM-derived antigen-presenting cells (APC), but show quite strong host Ia expression in germinal centers, probably on follicular dendritic cells (a class of nonhemopoietic stromal cells). To examine whether Ia expression on these non-BM-derived cells is capable of inducing post-thymic tolerance of T cells, thymectomized irradiated (a x b)F1 mice were reconstituted with parent alpha stem cells and then, 6 mo later, given parent alpha thymus grafts. As measured by primary mixed lymphocyte reactions and V beta expression, the CD4+ cells differentiating in the thymus-grafted mice showed no detectable tolerance to the H-2 (Ia) antigens of the host. To examine whether the thymus-grafted mice contained immunologically significant quantities of host Ia antigens, long-term alpha----(alpha x b)F1 chimeras were injected with normal strain alpha CD4+ cells; the donor cells were recovered from thoracic duct lymph of the chimeras and tested for host reactivity in vitro. The results showed that Ia expression in the chimeras was sufficient to cause selective trapping of a substantial proportion of host-Ia-reactive CD4+ cells soon after transfer and, at later stages, to induce strong priming. Tolerance was not seen. The data place constraints on the view that T cell recognition of antigen expressed on cells other than typical BM-derived APC leads to tolerance induction.

Abstract
Cyclosporine (CS) is a relatively new immunosuppressive agent which is selective in its action in that it acts on lymphocytes, T and B cells, and only indirectly if at all on other haemopoietic cells. Numerous studies over the last decade have shown quite clearly that, in vitro, CS inhibits lymphocyte activation at a relatively early stage by preventing the production and release of lymphokines, probably by inhibition of lymphokine gene transcription. However, studies in vivo have produced clearly different findings--although CS in vivo is completely effective in preventing the development of mature effector function (i.e., T-dependent antibody synthesis by B cells or T cell-mediated cytotoxicity) and the consequences of that effector function (e.g., transplant rejection), there is clear evidence that lymphocytes can be activated to at least the stages of cell division and clonal expansion under cover of therapeutic levels of CS. The contradictions between in vitro and in vivo findings are discussed in terms of the possible mechanism of action of CS in vivo.

Abstract
Here, we explore the conditions required for generating two different highly potent F1 antiparental killer cell populations to unusual antigens in rats. The first, L/DA anti-DA, has lytic specificity for two antigen systems: MTA, a mitochondrial antigen expressed on DA and DA Lewis (L) target cells restricted by RT1A class I molecules; and H, an antigen that maps to the class I-like RT1C region and is present only on parental target cells from donors homozygous at the major histocompatibility complex. The second killer population is generated in the reciprocal DA/L anti-DA combination and has lytic specificity only for the H antigen system. We show that the killer cells are T cells, and that generation of these F1 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) requires an in vivo priming step in which it is essential that the inoculated parental cells bear the relevant target antigens and possess alloreactivity for F1 host antigens. The requirement for alloreactivity and antigen on the same priming cell population suggests that these potent lytic responses depend on a situation akin to a hapten-carrier effect that bypasses otherwise ineffective helper responses by the host to these unusual antigens. Restimulation of F1 lymphocytes in culture is also necessary, requiring the presence of antigen on irradiated lymphoblast stimulator cells, but alloreactivity to responder cell antigens is not necessary; normal, nonactivated lymph node cells are completely ineffective as stimulators. For effective lysis, the target cells need not possess the potential for alloreactivity to responder F1 CTL. We also demonstrate in a preliminary way additional antigen systems defined by killer populations raised with other F1 antiparental strain combinations.

Abstract
Self tolerance induction in the thymus is known to delete T cells expressing certain V beta TCR molecules. In particular, V beta 17a+ and V beta 11+ T cells are selectively deleted in mice expressing H-2 I-E molecules. Although this finding implies that V beta 17a+ and V beta 11+ T cells have specificity for self I-E molecules, studies with V beta 11+ hybridomas prepared from mature lymphocytes taken from I-E- mice have shown that the vast majority of these hybridomas do not display I-E alloreactivity, at least in vitro. To examine whether V beta 11+ T cells are capable of reacting to I-E antigens in vivo, normal unprimed T cells from I-E- B10.A(4R) mice were transferred to irradiated I-E+ B10.A(2R) hosts and harvested from thoracic duct lymph of the recipients at various intervals. The donor T cells recovered in early lymph collections showed no reactivity to the I-E antigens of the host in vitro, presumably as a reflection of selective sequestration of the host-reactive cells in the lymphoid organs. Significantly, the disappearance of functional host-reactive cells from TDL was paralleled by a 90-95% reduction of V beta 11+ CD4+ cells. Blast cells were rare in early lymph collections but accounted for nearly all of the lymph-borne cells by day 3 after transfer. These blast cell populations contained a surprisingly high proportion of V beta 11+ cells, i.e., up to 25% in some experiments. Interestingly, the enrichment for V beta 11+ cells in the blast populations applied to CD8+ cells as well as to CD4+ cells. Collectively, the data suggest that in marked contrast to the failure of V beta 11+ cells to respond to I-E antigens in vitro, a high proportion of normal resting V beta 11+ cells are capable of reacting to I-E alloantigens in vivo.

Abstract
A single intravenous injection of a relatively small number of T cells contained in the population of rat thoracic duct lymphocytes (TDL) is sufficient to restore to normal the peripheral T cell pool of athymic PVG.rnu/rnu nude rats. The donor T cells expand greater than 10-15-fold, self-renew, and restore immunocompetency to nude recipients permanently (greater than 2 yr). We asked whether the T cell repertoire was affected by the expansion and self-renewal process. Nude recipients were injected with syngeneic PVG TDL that had been allospecifically depleted (negatively selected) by consecutive passage from blood to thoracic duct lymph through two irradiated (DAxPVG)F1 intermediate rats. Negatively selected TDL were tested before transfer by the P----F1 popliteal LN GVH assay and showed a greater than 90% depletion of specific reactivity to DA alloantigens. Surviving cells or their progeny were recovered from LN or TDL of nude recipients 8 and 12 mo after transfer. The deficit in GVH reactivity to the DA haplotype persisted, but normal GVH activity was demonstrated against a third party (AOxPVG)F1 alloantigen. The "hole" in the repertoire could not be attributed to tolerance induced by the co-transfer of contaminating irradiated F1 TDL. PVG TDL passaged consecutively through (AOxPVG)F1 and (DAxPVG)F1 intermediates and devoid of (AOxPVG)F1 cells remained specifically depleted to both AO and DA haplotypes when recovered from nude recipients 4 and 13 mo later, but displayed GVH activity to a third-party (BNxPVG)F1 alloantigen. Thus the exact specificity of the T cell repertoire of the original inoculum was faithfully maintained in nude recipients throughout the initial phase of rapid expansion and the continued self-renewal of the mature peripheral T cell pool.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of cyclosporin (CsA) on each of three stages of lymphocyte activation in vivo viz. sequestration of alloantigen-reactive lymphocytes from the circulation into the spleen and lymph nodes, blast transformation and induction of DNA synthesis in the activated cells and release of these cells and their progeny into the circulation. Parental strain lymphocytes injected i.v. into semi-allogeneic rats and recovered from the thoracic duct within 36 h are profoundly unresponsive in a local graft-vs.-host assay to the alloantigens of the F1 hybrid but have normal activity against unrelated alloantigens (negative selection). CsA treatment of the F1 hybrid recipients did not prevent this selective sequestration of antigen-reactive cells. In the untreated F1 hybrid, from 36 h after injection, large numbers of dividing blast cells were released into the lymph. These cells did not appear in the lymph of recipients treated with CsA. However, CsA did not prevent the activation of cells sequestered in the spleen or lymph nodes as assessed by [3H] thymidine incorporation and autoradiography. This unexpected finding suggests that CsA inhibits lymphocyte responses to alloantigens in vivo after DNA synthesis which is a later stage than the in vitro studies have shown.

Abstract
Mice heavily infected with Mycobacterium bovis BCG rapidly became anergic to cutaneous injection with tuberculin. Evidence is presented suggesting that this anergy reflects an adaptive physiological change within the host in which antigen-reactive Thy-1.2+ cells become sequestered in central lymphoid tissues, with a concomitant reduction in the circulating pool. No evidence could be provided to support the suggestion that anergy was a consequence of an acquired immunosuppressive mechanism.

Abstract
The pathway of lymphocyte migration through the white pulp of rat spleen and the relationship of migrating cells to the accessory cells (marginal zone macrophages and interdigitating cells, IDCs) of the white pulp compartments were analysed. Donor lymphocytes were obtained from lymph nodes, enriched for T lymphocytes and labeled in vitro with 5-(3H)uridine. They were injected intravenously into syngeneic recipients from which samples of spleen were taken at short intervals from 3 to 300 min after injection. Autoradiographs of semithin and ultrathin sections showed that, in the internal layer of the marginal zone (MZ), lymphocytes tended to accumulate within some regions in close proximity to marginal-zone macrophages before migrating into the periarteriolar lymphoid sheath (PALS). The lymphocytes enter PALS between protrusions of the accessory cells located in the peripheral area of the sheath. During migration towards the central area of PALS, a close contact between both cell types was noted. In the central area of PALS, preferential accumulation of lymphocytes around IDCs was observed. Labeled lymphocyte distribution within PALS and the rate of cell migration through the white pulp seem to depend on lymphocyte-IDC contact. A common feature of accessory cells which may affect the migration of lymphocytes in both MZ and PALS is the presence of Birbeck granules.

Abstract
Allogeneic lymphocyte cytotoxicity (ALC) refers to the destruction of lymphocyte beginning within a few hours of intravenous injection into non-sensitized, allogeneic recipients. Usually this has been detected in rats and mice by comparing the localization of 51Cr-labelled lymphocytes in the tissues of allogeneic and syngeneic recipients. In a particular strain combination the existence of ALC is supported by deficient localization of allogeneic lymphocytes in the LN, lungs and blood mononuclear population and an excess of the label that had been associated with allogeneic cells in the lymph plasma, blood plasma and kidneys. As the destruction of the allogeneic cells occurs in the lymphatic tissues, especially the spleen, it is paradoxical that there is sometimes an excess of the label associated with allogeneic cells in the spleen but evidence is presented that most of the isotope is no longer associated with living cells in that organ at 24 h after transfer. The data cannot be explained by an altered distribution of allogeneic lymphocytes between different organs. Experiments on the early migration of lymphocytes from the blood of syngeneic and allogeneic recipients point unequivocally to the conclusion that the adhesion of lymphocytes to specialized vascular endothelium in LN and their consequent entry into LN does not require that the lymphocytes and the endothelial cells share MHC products. The characteristics of ALC stressed in this review include the following: 1) it is independent of T-cell activation, either of host T-cells or of donor T-cells: 2) B- and T-cells are about equally vulnerable to ALC; 3) it varies greatly between different strain combinations regardless of other indices of cellular and humoral immunity; 4) F1 hybrid donor cells are vulnerable but the effect is always less marked than with allogeneic cells; 5) ALC is less radio-sensitive than primary cellular or humoral immune responses; 6) adoptive transfer of ALC can be achieved with TDL from nude rats. The possible mechanism underlying ALC has been debated in terms of natural killer cells recognizing certain allo-antigens or alternatively pre-existing "natural" antibody with low affinity for allogeneic cells leading to their elimination by ADCC. The argument hinges on the necessity for antibody and cannot be resolved by current data.

Abstract
The recirculation of lymphocytes through the tissues and their return to the blood were compared in nude and euthymic rats. Three approaches were used: the organ distribution of 15Cr-labelled lymphocytes from nude or euthymic donors at 24 h after injection; the compartmental distribution of B and T lymphocytes as assessed by autoradiography of the spleen, lymph nodes, and Peyer's patches; and the tempo of recirculation from blood to thoracic duct lymph as estimated by counting timed fractions of lymph from a recipient of labelled lymphocytes. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) The distribution of lymphocytes between organs and within organs is very similar in nude and euthymic recipients. In particular, B lymphocytes proceed normally to the follicular areas in the absence of T cells. (2) The recirculation from blood to lymph is delayed in nude rats. (3) For equal numbers of B and T cells injected intravenously about half as many B cells as T cells enter mesenteric and cervical lymph nodes, but approximately equal numbers of B and T cells enter the spleen and Peyer's patches.

Abstract
The effects of different sources of dietary protein, fat and carbohydrate on tumor development and on tests relating to cell-mediated immunity were investigated in male BALB/c mice after subcutaneous injection of 8 X 10(4) 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colon tumor (no. 51) cells. Results indicated that mice fed the milk protein source (especially at the low protein level) had smaller tumors, a higher spleen cell proliferative response to stimulation by phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and greater cytotoxic T-cell activity against the tumor cells than those fed the comparable diets containing protein from the other sources. Peripheral blood lymphocytes only from the milk-fed mice, regardless of tumor presence, exhibited a relatively low response to PHA stimulation, thereby suggesting a dietary effect on the migration pattern of PHA-responsive lymphocytes. The level of protein significantly affected both T-cell and natural killer cell cytotoxicity. The tumor-bearing mice fed the diet containing sucrose (table sugar) had a significantly lower spleen cell response to PHA stimulation than those fed the comparable diet containing dextrin. The level or source of fat did not significantly affect any of the parameters tested in this system.

Abstract
The efferent lymph from the popliteal lymph nodes of pregnant ewes challenged between 93 and 127 days with specific paternal or foetal lymphocytes was examined. There was an increased efflux of lymphocytes and blast cells from the challenged node, similar to that observed during the response of normal, non-pregnant ewes to allogeneic cells. Additionally, there was a decrease in the mixed lymphocyte and mitogen responsiveness of the efferent lymphatic cells that was comparable with that evoked by challenge of non-pregnant sheep. While cytotoxic cells could not be detected in the lymph after challenge of normal or pregnant animals, specific cytotoxic antibody was invariably produced in both instances. The present observations that the immune responsiveness of the pregnant ewe to foetal lymphocytes remains normal are consistent with an earlier report on the antifoetal reactivity of maternal cells in vitro. It is inferred that the in vitro reactivity of maternal lymphocytes was a valid reflection of the capacity of these cells in the intact ewe.

Abstract
The results of this study of allogeneic restriction of passively transferred delayed sensitivity to Listeria antigens serve to illustrate the complexity of in vivo models. They show that the H-2 restriction observed when delayed-type hypersensitivity was transferred between H-2-congenic strains was no more severe than the restriction observed when delayed-type hypersensitivity was transferred between parental and F1 mice and between different strains sharing the same H-2 haplotype. It is obvious that genes, in addition to those of the H-2 locus, can be responsible for allogeneic restriction in vivo.

Abstract
Following i.v. injection, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP)-primed memory cells localized in recipient lymph nodes draining a footpad injection of TNP-hemocyanin (TNP-KLH) in greater numbers than in contralateral nodes draining a p-azobenzenearsonate-coupled KLH injection. Such hapten-specific, unilateral memory B cell localization was still observed in immunosuppressed mice when antigen injections were given as long as 4 days prior to the memory cell transfer. The memory cells could be challenged to form plaque-forming cells by footpad injections of TNP-labeled Brucella abortus at 5 days, but not one day, after cell transfer. The present studies further clarify some parameters of this adoptive memory, as a model for the study of persistent local memory. Measures that promoted the unilateral lymph node retention of 125I-labeled antigen also facilitated unilateral accumulation of TNP-specific memory cells. Such measures included pretreatment of the recipients with cyclophosphamide, rather than gamma irradiation, injection of anti-carrier antibody the day before antigen, or use of small doses of preformed immune complexes instead of antigen alone. In general, a high ratio of lymph node-to-spleen and lymph node-to-blood concentration of antigen in recipients appeared crucial for unilateral localization of memory B cells. Splenectomy of recipients prior to cell transfer enhanced the difference in plaque-forming cell responses between draining and contralateral nodes, but decreased their difference when performed 1 day after cell transfer, suggesting that the spleen may have served as a trap for memory cells. I.v. injection of antigen at the time of B cell transfer also interfered with unilateral localization. The results demonstrate that in the presence of persisting depots of antigen within lymph nodes (and absence of significant amounts of antigen elsewhere), memory B cells can be retained locally without activation into antibody-secreting cells. This mechanism may, therefore, by responsible for the phenomenon of local, humoral, immunological memory.

Abstract
Simultaneous auxiliary transplantation of the spleen has been shown to delay and attenuate the rejection of cardiac grafts in rats. In the experiments reported here, 144 such twin grafts in Lewis and ACI rats were explored in an attempt to determine whether removal of the host's spleen would further facilitate graft survival in this model. Thus, 87 rats were submitted to host splenectomy at various time intervals after implantation of the twin grafts. After considerable technical problems were overcome, it was found that this additional maneuver induced permanent (greater than 5 months) survival in 64% of Lewis-to-ACI twin grafts. The important requirement for this success was timing; delaying host splenectomy for 3 to 5 days after implantation of the twin graft was mandatory.

Abstract
The immunogenicity of cell surface markers associated with specific anti-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alloreactivity of rat peripheral T lymphocyte subpopulations has been demonstrated in the past by the ability of such cell populations to induce a profound and specific resistance to systemic graft-vs.-host (GVH) disease in adult rats. Our studies demonstrate that these specificity-associated anti-MHC parental strain T cell markers are also tolerogenic; if small numbers of parental strain T cells are administered to newborn F1 rats, they result in the specific inability to induce GVH resistance later on in adult life. Moreover, unlike normal animals, these F1 rats are extremely sensitive to systemic GVH disease caused by T cells from the original donor parental strain.

Abstract
Lymphocytes from rats that had been sensitized against spinal cord were infused into unsensitized hosts, and the ability of cells subsequently recovered from the thoracic duct lymph of these recipients to mount anti-neural responses was tested. Lymph from normal recipients frequently contained reactive lymphocytes during the 4 days following infusion of sensitized cells, whereas cells that had been recovered from transfused rats, resistant to encephalomyelitis as a result of neonatal treatment, were almost invariably benefit of activity. If lymphocytes reactive against allogeneic neural cells were passaged through F1 hybrids of the lymphocyte and sensitizing allogeneic tissue strains, loss or retention of their ability to attack allogeneic neural cells was determined by the method of sensitization of the original lymphocyte donor.

Abstract
Sheep were primed to a variety of antigens and the efferent lymphatic from a popliteal lymph node was cannulated. The cannulated node was challenged repeatedly with PPD and all the lymph and cells removed from the animal. During this time the PBL were monitored for reactivity to all antigens (purified protein derivative of tuberculin [PPD], johnin, and keyhole limpet hemocyanin [KLH]) by the vitro transformation assay. The response of these cells to PPD was found to be gradually eliminated after repeated challenge of the cannulated node with that antigen. The response to the other antigens was unimpaired. No depletion of this response to PPD occurred in cannulated sheep when the antigen was given into a noncannulated node. In vivo delayed-type hypersensitivity skin test and helper T cell assays confirmed that there is a specific selection of antigen-reactive cells from the recirculating lymphocyte pool into antigen-stimulated lymph nodes.

Abstract
Fully allogeneic chimeras were able to develop in vitro alloantigen-specific, as well as H-2-restricted, Sendai virus-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response. Depending on the immunization regimen used, Sendai virus-specific CTL responses were restricted to the H-2 antigens of either the stem cell donor or the thymus. Similarly, unprimed splenic T cells of normal mice were found to contain CTL-precursor cells that specifically reacted against Sendai virus or trinitrophenyl derivatives in the context of allogeneic major histocompatibility complex determinants that had not been encountered during their thymic differentiation. A frequency analysis of allogeneically versus syngeneically restricted virus-specific CTL precursors present in splenic T cells showed a ratio of about 1 to 6. These results provide evidence that H-2 restriction of trinitrophenyl- or Sendai virus-specific T cells is dictated by the complex type of the antigen-presenting cell and thus appears to be independent of the type of thymus in which the T cells have undergone maturation.

Abstract
A soluble extract of Listeria monocytogenes bound firmly and in similar amounts to a variety of rat cells. Cells that bound this material differed in their capacity to stimulate the in vitro proliferation of lymphocytes obtained from the thoracic duct of Listeria-immune donors. The capacity of cells to serve as antigen-presenting cells in this system coincided or closely overlapped the expression on these cells of an Ia antigen-like structure. Three lines of evidence indicate that T cells respond to L. monocytogenes antigen: the responder cells are members of a nylon-wool nonadherent population that lacks readily detectable surface immunoglobulin; they express determinants recognized by the W3/25 monoclonal antibody (a surface marker of rat peripheral T cells); and they are stimulated optimally by L. monocytogenes antigen when the latter is displayed on cells that share a haplotype with the responder lymphocytes.

Abstract
With a model in which CBA T cells cause lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in irradiated B10.BR mice (H-2-compatible mice that express multiple minor histocompatibility antigen [HA] differences), information was sought on whether the induction phase of GVHD to minor HA is H-2 restricted. When unprimed CBA (H-2k) T cells were recirculated from blood to lymph for 1 d through irradiated H-2-compatible B10.BR or B10.K mice, the T cells underwent specific negative selection to the minor HA of the host, i.e, the filtered T cells failed to cause GVHD after transfer to B10.BR mice. With filtration through totally H-2-different B10 (H-2b), B10.D2 (H-2d), or B10.S (H-2s) mice, by contrast, no selection occurred, i.e., the filtered cells were unimpaired in their capacity to kill B10.BR mice. Selection was marked after filtration through H-2-semiallogeneic (B10 X CBA)F1 mice. These data, together with the results of filtering T cells through various H-2 recombinant strains, indicated that selection depended upon the donor and filtration host sharing determinants encoded by both the K- and D-ends of the H-2 complex. Compatibility only in the I region failed to cause demonstrable selection.

Abstract
The postulate is made that dual recognition by T lymphocytes is due to two types of receptor, one encoded by antibody genes and one by a distinct multigene family with simple rules for expression. This postulate leads to a model explaining ontogenic and evolutionary selection for self recognition, T lymphocyte effector function, the apparent high frequency of alloreactive T cells and immune response gene activity. The model is contrasted with previous explanations of self-recognition phenomena.

Abstract
Intravenous injection of CBA mice with H-2-compatible irradiated B10.BR spleen cells led to a sequence of negative and positive selection of the host T-cell response against the multiple foreign minor histocompatibility antigens (HA) on the injected cells. By 1 d posttransfer, thoracic duct lymphocytes (TDL) of the host had lost the capacity to differentiate in vitro into cytotoxic cells specific for the injected minor HA; spleen and lymph node cells, by contrast, gave normal or enriched responses at this time. By 5 d posttransfer, TDL were hyperresponsive to the injected antigens. Selection with disrupted (sonicated) cells gave similar findings. With injection of either irradiated of disrupted spleen cells, the H-2 haplotype of the minor HA-bearing cells had no apparent effect on the magnitude of selection. By contrast, treatment of spleen cells with glutaraldehyde before injection led to H-2 restriction of selection, i.e., negative selection of the CBA response to B10.BR was marked with injection of glutaraldehyde-treated H-2-compatible B10.BR cells but was minimal with H-2-different B10 or B10.D2 cells. These data are taken to imply that, at least in H-2-incompatible situations, the minor HA-bearing cells must be processed by host cells, i.e., to allow the antigens to become associated with self H-2 determinants. Circumstantial evidence from studies on the specificity of selection induced with glutaraldehyde-treated cells from mice of the B10 recombinant strains suggested that I region-restricted T cells may control the induction of H2K, D-restricted cytotoxic precursor cells.

Abstract
Rat lymph node cells taken at the peak of cytolytic activity following a skin allograft were separated into adherent and nonadherent fractions by incubation on monolayers of thoracic duct lymphocytes either of the same strain as the graft donor or of an Ag-B different strain. In the face of a 3-fold enrichment of cytolytic activity in the adherent cells and a 3-fold depletion in the nonadherent cells there was no detectable partition of graft-vs-host (GVH) activity. Supplementary experiments supported the simplest interpretation of this finding, namely that the antigen receptors on GVH-reactive cells did not influence their adherence in this system. Similarly, there was no partition of the GVH activity of nonimmune lymph node cells by adherence. Labeling lymph node cells with either radioactive uridine or thymidine in vitro, suggested that about 20% of DNA-synthesizing cells in the immune population adhered because of antigen recognition.
