Abstract
Allogeneic organ transplants are rejected by the recipient immune system within several days or weeks. However, the rejection process of allogeneic T (allo-T) cells is poorly understood. In this study, using fluorescence-based monitoring and two-photon live imaging in mouse adoptive transfer system, we visualized the fate of allo-T cells in the in vivo environment and showed rapid elimination in secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs). Although i.v. transferred allo-T cells efficiently entered host SLOs, including lymph nodes and the spleen, ∼70% of the cells had disappeared within 24 h. At early time points, allo-T cells robustly migrated in the T cell area, whereas after 8 h, the numbers of arrested cells and cell fragments were dramatically elevated. Apoptotic breakdown of allo-T cells released a large amount of cell debris, which was efficiently phagocytosed and cleared by CD8+ dendritic cells. Rapid elimination of allo-T cells was also observed in nu/nu recipients. Depletion of NK cells abrogated allo-T cell reduction only in a specific combination of donor and recipient genetic backgrounds. In addition, F1 hybrid transfer experiments showed that allo-T cell killing was independent of the missing-self signature typically recognized by NK cells. These suggest the presence of a unique and previously uncharacterized modality of allorecognition by the host immune system. Taken together, our findings reveal an extremely efficient and dynamic process of allogeneic lymphocyte elimination in SLOs, which could not be recapitulated in vitro and is distinct from the rejection of solid organ and bone marrow transplants.

Abstract
In this review, I summarize some of the early research on NK cell biology and function that led to the discovery of a totally new receptor system for polymorphic MHC class I molecules. That NK cells both could recognize and kill tumor cells but also normal hematopoietic cells through expression of MHC class I molecules found a unifying explanation in the “missing self” hypothesis. This initiated a whole new area of leukocyte receptor research. The common underlying mechanism was that NK cells expressed receptors that were inhibited by recognition of unmodified “self” MHC-I molecules. This could explain both the killing of tumor cells with poor expression of MHC-I molecules and hybrid resistance, i.e., that F1 hybrid mice sometimes could reject parental bone marrow cells. However, a contrasting phenomenon termed allogeneic lymphocyte cytotoxicity in rats gave strong evidence that some of these receptors were activated rather than inhibited by recognition of polymorphic MHC-I. This was soon followed by molecular identification of both inhibitory and stimulatory Ly49 receptors in mice and rats and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors in humans that could be either inhibited or activated when recognizing their cognate MHC-I ligand. Since most of these receptors now have been molecularly characterized, their ligands and the intracellular pathways leading to activation or inhibition identified, we still lack a more complete understanding of how the repertoire of activating and inhibitory receptors is formed and how interactions between these receptors for MHC-I molecules on a single NK cell are integrated to generate a productive immune response. Although several NK receptor systems have been characterized that recognize MHC-I or MHC-like molecules, I here concentrate on the repertoires of NK receptors encoded by the natural killer cell gene complex and designed to recognize polymorphic MHC-I molecules in rodents, i.e., Ly49 (KLRA) receptors.

Abstract
Previous work showed that administration of antigen-expressing apoptotic cells in vivo results in antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses independent of Toll-like receptor signaling. We report here that natural killer (NK) cells can serve a function directly upstream of this pathway and initiate robust adaptive immune responses via killing of antigen-expressing target cells. This pathway is highly sensitive, in that administration of as few as 10(4) target cells induced detectable antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses. Importantly, NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity of target cells could also induce robust antigen-specific CD4+ T-cell responses, which were critical for subsequent CD8+ T-cell priming and IgG responses. Unlike adaptive immune responses induced by gamma-irradiated cells, the NK-cell pathway required myeloid differentiating factor 88 (MyD88) and Toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-beta (Trif) signaling. NK cells have previously been shown to detect and kill pathogen-infected host cells, as well as neoplastic cells and tissue allografts. The present data provide further evidence that they also discharge a strong tie with their relatives in the adaptive immune system. We think that the recognition and killing of target cells by NK cells represents an important pathway for the generation of robust CD8+ T and humoral responses that may be exploited for vaccine development.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are able in tissue culture to phagocytose and present antigens derived from infected, malignant, and allogeneic cells. Here we show directly that DCs in situ take up these types of cells after fluorescent labeling with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) and injection into mice. The injected cells include syngeneic splenocytes and tumor cell lines, induced to undergo apoptosis ex vivo by exposure to osmotic shock, and allogeneic B cells killed by NK cells in situ. The CFSE-labeled cells in each case are actively endocytosed by DCs in vivo, but only the CD8+ subset. After uptake, all of the phagocytic CD8+ DCs can form major histocompatibility complex class II-peptide complexes, as detected with a monoclonal antibody specific for these complexes. The CD8+ DCs also selectively present cell-associated antigens to both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Similar events take place with cultured DCs; CD8+ DCs again selectively take up and present dying cells. In contrast, both CD8+ and CD8- DCs phagocytose latex particles in culture, and both DC subsets present soluble ovalbumin captured in vivo. Therefore CD8+ DCs are specialized to capture dying cells, and this helps to explain their selective ability to cross present cellular antigens to both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.

Abstract
We have depleted lymphocyte subsets in PVG and AO rats with MoAbs 3.2.3 (against NKR-P1 on NK and NK/T cells) and OX-8 (against CD8 on CTL and NK cells), and examined the effect on the killing of YAC-1 target cells in vitro and the effect on the acute rejection of small allogeneic lymphocytes in vivo (allogeneic lymphocyte cytotoxicity, ALC). While 3.2.3 treatment led to only a partial depletion of 3.2.3-positive cells in PVG rats, this treatment drastically reduced the number of NKR-P1+ cells in AO rats, abolished splenic NK activity against the NK-sensitive tumour target YAC-1, and markedly diminished the ALC response. Rats treated with OX-8 for 1 day showed a similar loss of NK cell function in vivo and in vitro. However, in rats treated with OX-8 for 3 days a 3.2.3+ and OX-8- population consisting of NK cells appeared, restoring ALC. The results demonstrate that NK cell responses can be greatly diminished after in vivo treatment with these MoAbs. Furthermore, they demonstrate that ALC is not necessarily linked to expression of the CD8 molecule.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived antigen-presenting cells (APCs) take up cell-associated antigens and present them in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules to CD8(+) T cells in a process referred to as cross-priming. Cross-priming is essential for the induction of CD8(+) T cell responses directed towards antigens not expressed in professional APCs. Although in vitro experiments have shown that dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages are capable of presenting exogenous antigens in association with MHC class I, the cross-presenting cell in vivo has not been identified. We have isolated splenic DCs after in vivo priming with ovalbumin-loaded beta2-microglobulin-deficient splenocytes and show that they indeed present cell-associated antigens in the context of MHC class I molecules. This process is transporter associated with antigen presentation (TAP) dependent, suggesting an endosome to cytosol transport. To determine whether a specific subset of splenic DCs is involved in this cross-presentation, we negatively and positively selected for CD8(-) and CD8(+) DCs. Only the CD8(+), and not the CD8(-), DC subset demonstrates cross-priming ability. FACS((R)) studies after injection of splenocytes loaded with fluorescent beads showed that 1 and 0.6% of the CD8(+) and the CD8(-) DC subsets, respectively, had one or more associated beads. These results indicate that CD8(+) DCs play an important role in the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses specific for cell-associated antigens.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a rare population of leukocytes specialized in Ag processing and presentation to T cells. We have previously shown that cultured rat splenic DCs exhibit a cytotoxic activity against selected target cells. In this study, we analyzed this function in DCs freshly prepared from lymphoid organs using the DC-specific OX62 mAb and magnetic beads. Freshly extracted splenic DCs, but not lymph node and thymic DCs, exhibited a strong and moderate cytotoxic activity against YAC-1 and K562 target cells, respectively. FACS analyses showed that spleen contained a minor subset (10-15%) of CD4(+) and class II(int) DCs that also expressed the OX41 Ag and the lymphoid-related Ags CD5 and CD90 (Thy-1) and a major (80-85%) subset of CD4(-)/OX41(-)/CD5(-) and class II(int) DCs. The cytotoxic activity of splenic DCs was strictly restricted to the CD4(-) DCs, a subset poorly represented in LN and thymus. Contrasting with our previous report using cultured splenic DCs, freshly isolated splenic DCs killed YAC-1 cells using a Ca(2+)-independent mechanism, but this function did not appear mediated by Fas ligand, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, or TNF-alpha. Therefore, rat DCs contain a subset of naturally cytolytic cells that could play a role in both innate and acquired immune responses. Together with our previous report, these data suggest that rat DCs can use two mechanisms of cytotoxicity depending on their maturation/activation state.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are bone-marrow-derived cells that function as professional antigen-presenting cells (APC). Liver is an essential organ for a host defense. It not only is armed with a powerful macrophage system but also is constantly surveyed by a heavy traffic of DC and lymphocytes. In case of emergency, such as infection and inflammation, DC traffic in the liver is accelerated. DC in the liver (interstitial DC) capture and process antigens, enter the draining lymph (DC in hepatic lymph) and accumulate in the T-cell area of hepatic lymph nodes (LN). DC in the LN present antigens to T and B cells to initiate immune responses. In accelerated states, DC precursors are recruited to the liver and soon translocate to hepatic lymph. Even mature lymph DC can undergo a blood-lymph translocation from the liver to hepatic LN after i.v. injection into normal rats. Rat Kupffer cells in the hepatic sinusoids are capable of selectively trapping DC from the blood in vivo and in vitro, suggesting involvement of certain adhesion molecules. Kupffer cells presumably elaborate chemokines to attract and trap the recruited DC via selective adhesion, leading to DC extravasation. The accelerated traffic and the presence of blood-lymph translocation would induce rapid and efficient immune responses and thus contribute to the local defense to antigens within liver tissues as well as systemic defense to blood-borne antigens. DC progenitors are also present in the liver, and these may play an important role in tolerance induction in liver transplantation.

Abstract
Antigen uptake, processing and presentation by dendritic cells [DCs] have become amenable to cell biological approaches. The critical events occur in DCs that are undergoing maturation in response to inflammatory stimuli. Successful antigen presentation can be monitored directly using antibodies that are specific for particular MHC-peptide complexes. What a contrast to earlier times when it was difficult to visualize even the uptake of antigen into isolated DCs and DCs in the T cell areas of lymphoid organs! We emphasize here the efficiency of antigen capture and presentation by maturing DCs, especially for dying cells. This presentation of cellular antigens by DCs likely explains the phenomenon of cross priming in the setting of transplantation and other clinical states.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After transplantation, donor dendritic cells (DC) migrating to the draining lymph node of the recipient are thought to play an important role in the initiation of graft rejection. In this study, we compared the in vivo migration of DC after allogeneic skin transplantation with that after congeneic skin transplantation. METHODS A rat model was used with the PVG-RT7b rats as donor animals. These rats have leukocytes bearing an epitope of the leukocyte common antigen that can be recognized by the monoclonal antibody His 41. The cells of the allogeneic (ACI) and congeneic (PVG) recipient animals do not express this marker. RESULTS In both recipient rat strains, graft-derived His 41+ DC could be detected in the T cell areas of the draining lymph nodes after skin transplantation. However, the number of migrated His 41+ cells present was lower in the allogeneic recipients. Similar results were obtained when skin DC isolated from the PVG-RT7b rats were injected subcutaneously into the hind footpads of allogeneic and congeneic recipients. Although the numbers of migrated His 41+ DC present were lower, the lymph nodes of the allogeneic recipients were much more enlarged and the grafts were rejected which did not occur in the congeneic recipients. CONCLUSIONS The presence of donor-derived DC in the graft draining lymph nodes underlines the importance of the direct route of allo-activation. The lower numbers of migrated His 41+ DC in lymph nodes of allogeneic recipients may be the result of killing of the cells after presentation of the allo-antigens to the recipient T cells.

Abstract
CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) mediate resistance to infectious agents and tumours. Classically, CTLs recognize antigens that are localized in the cytoplasm of target cells, processed and presented as peptide complexes with class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). However, there is evidence for an exogenous pathway whereby antigens that are not expected to gain access to the cytoplasm are presented on MHC class I molecules. The most dramatic example is the in vivo phenomenon of cross-priming: antigens from donor cells are acquired by bone-marrow-derived host antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and presented on MHC class I molecules. Two unanswered questions concern the identity of this bone-marrow-derived cell and how such antigens are acquired. Here we show that human dendritic cells, but not macrophages, efficiently present antigen derived from apoptotic cells, stimulating class I-restricted CD8+ CTLs. Our findings suggest a mechanism by which potent APCs acquire antigens from tumours, transplants, infected cells, or even self-tissue, for stimulation or tolerization of CTLs.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are a subset of leukocytes whose major function is antigen presentation. We investigated the phenotype and function of enriched (95-98.5%) rat DC. We show that both spleen and thymus DC express the natural killer cell receptor protein 1 (NKR-P1) as a disulfide linked homodimer of 60 kD. Freshly isolated DC express a low level of NKR-P1, which is strongly upregulated after overnight culture. Spleen, but not thymus DC, were able to kill the NK-sensitive YAC-1 cell line in vitro, and since this killing was Ca2+ dependent, a Fas ligand-Fas interaction was probably not involved. Besides their potent antigen-presenting function, DC can thus be cytotoxic for some tumor targets.

Abstract
Substantial numbers of dendritic cells (DCs) are found in the T-cell areas of peripheral lymphoid organs such as the spleen, lymph node and Peyer's patch. By electron microscopy these DCs (also called interdigitating cells) form a network through which T-cells continually recirculate. The cytological features of DCs in the T-cell areas, as well as a number of markers detected with monoclonal antibodies, are similar to mature DCs that develop from other sites such as skin and bone marrow. Some markers that are expressed in abundance are: MHC II and the associated invariant chain, accessory molecules such as CD40 and CD86, a multilectin receptor for antigen presentation called DEC-205, the integrin CD11c, several antigens within the endocytic system that are detected by monoclonal antibodies but are as yet uncharacterized at the molecular level, and, in the human system, molecules termed S100b, CD83 and p55. DCs in the periphery can pick up antigens and migrate to the T-cell areas to initiate immunity. However, there are new observations that DCs within the T-cell areas also express high levels of self-antigens and functional fas-ligand capable of inducing CD4+ T-cell death. We speculate that there are at least 2 sets of DCs in the T-cell areas, a migratory myeloid pathway that brings in antigens from the periphery and induces immunity, and a more resident lymphoid pathway that presents self-antigens and maintains tolerance.

Abstract
Initiation of an adoptive immune response against pathogenic organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, may involve phagocytic activity of dendritic cells (DC) or their immature precursors as a prelude to antigen processing and presentation. After intravenous injection of rats with particulate matter, particle-laden cells were detected in the peripheral hepatic lymph. Since it has been known there is a constant efflux of DC from nonlymphoid organs into the draining peripheral lymph, we examined whether these particle-laden cells belonged to the DC or macrophage lineage. The majority of particle-laden cells in lymph showed immature monocyte-like cytology, and the amount of ingested particles was small relative to typical macrophages. We identified these particle-laden cells as DC based on a number of established criteria: (a) they had a phenotype characteristic of rat DC, that is, major histocompatibility complex class Ihigh+ and IIhigh+, intercellular adhesion molecule 1+ and 80% positive with the rat DC-specific mAb OX62; (b) they showed strong stimulating capacity in primary allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction; (c) in vitro, they had little phagocytic activity; and (d) the kinetics of translocation was similar to that of lymph DC in that they migrated to the thymus-dependent area of the regional nodes. Furthermore, bromodeoxyuridine feeding studies revealed that most of the particle-laden DC were recently produced by the terminal division of precursor cells, at least 45% of them being <5.5 d old. The particle-laden DC, defined as OX62+ latex-laden cells, were first found in the sinusoidal area of the liver, in the liver perfusate, and in spleen cell suspensions, suggesting that the site of particle capture was mainly in the blood marginating pool. It is concluded that the particle-laden cells in the hepatic lymph are recently produced immature DC that manifest a temporary phagocytic activity for intravascular particles during or after the terminal division and that the phagocytic activity is downregulated at a migratory stage when they translocate from the sinusoidal area to the hepatic lymph.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) isolated from lymphoid tissues are generally thought to be nonphagocytic in culture. It has therefore been unclear how these cells could acquire particulate antigens such as microorganisms for initiation of primary immune responses. Lymphoid DC derive in part from cells that have migrated from nonlymphoid tissues, such as Langerhans cells (LC) of skin. The ability of LC to internalize a variety of particles was studied by electron, ultraviolet, phase, and differential interference contrast microscopy, and by two-color flow cytometry. Freshly isolated LC in epidermal cell suspensions phagocytosed the yeast cell wall derivative zymosan, intact Saccharomyces cerevisiae, representatives of two genera of Gram-positive bacteria, Corynebacterium parvum and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as 0.5-3.5-microns latex microspheres. During maturation in culture, the phagocytic activity of these cells was markedly reduced. Likewise, freshly isolated splenic DC were more phagocytic than cultured DC for two types of particle examined, zymosan and latex beads. Unlike macrophages, LC did not bind or internalize sheep erythrocytes before or after opsonization with immunoglobulin G or complement, and did not internalize colloidal carbon. The receptors mediating zymosan uptake by LC were examined. For this particle, C57BL/6 LC were considerably more phagocytic than BALB/c LC and exhibited a reproducible increase in phagocytic activity after 6 h of culture followed by a decline, whereas this initial rise did not occur for BALB/c LC. These differential kinetics of uptake were reflected in the pattern of zymosan binding at 4 degrees C, and endocytosis of the soluble tracer fluorescein isothiocyanate-mannose-bovine serum albumin at 37 degrees C. Zymosan uptake by LC from both strains of mice was inhibited in the presence of mannan or beta-glucan, although to different extents, but not by antibodies specific for CR3 (CD11b/CD18). These data indicate that zymosan uptake by LC can be mediated by a mannose/beta-glucan receptor(s) that is differentially expressed in the two strains of mice and that is downregulated during maturation of LC in culture.

Abstract
Dendritic cells, while effective in sensitizing T cells to several different antigens, show little or no phagocytic activity. To the extent that endocytosis is required for antigen processing and presentation, it is not evident how dendritic cells would present particle-associated peptides. Evidence has now been obtained showing that progenitors to dendritic cells can internalize particles, including Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) mycobacteria. The particulates are applied for 20 h to bone marrow cultures that have been stimulated with granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to induce aggregates of growing dendritic cells. Cells within these aggregates are clearly phagocytic. If the developing cultures are exposed to particles, washed, and "chased" for 2 d, the number of major histocompatibility complex class II-rich dendritic cells increases substantially and at least 50% contain internalized mycobacteria or latex particles. The mycobacteria-laden, newly developed dendritic cells are much more potent in presenting antigens to primed T cells than corresponding cultures of mature dendritic cells that are exposed to a pulse of organisms. A similar situation exists when the BCG-charged dendritic cells are injected into the footpad or blood stream of naive mice. Those dendritic cells that have phagocytosed organisms induce the strongest T cell responses to mycobacterial antigens in draining lymph node and spleen. The administration of antigens to GM-CSF-induced, developing dendritic cells (by increasing both antigen uptake and cell numbers) will facilitate the use of these antigen-presenting cells for active immunization in situ.

Abstract
The Langerhans cells in the lentigines of four patients with the Leopard syndrome contained large membrane bound accumulations of melanin granules. Giant melanosomes were only seen in two patients. The patients had no immune-based symptoms relating to their lentigines. The Leopard Syndrome, also known as multiple lentigines syndrome, progressive cardiomyopathic lentiginosis, lentiginosis profusa syndrome and the cardiocutaneous syndrome, refers to an inherited abnormality of the skin, often associated with cardiomyopathy. The aetiology of the condition is so far unknown and the penetrance is variable. Here we describe electron microscopical findings of large accumulations of melanin within Langerhans cells.

Abstract
MHC class I-restricted T lymphocyte responses are usually directed to cellular antigenic components resulting from endogenous gene expression. Exogenous, non-replicating antigens, such as soluble proteins, usually fail to enter the class I pathway of antigen processing and presentation. Consistent with this notion, we have recently shown that soluble, exogenous proteins can be efficiently processed for class I presentation in vitro only if they are introduced directly into the target cell cytoplasm. In this report we extend this work to the in vivo situation by introducing soluble protein into the cytoplasm of mouse splenocytes via the osmotic lysis of pinosomes and then using these cells for in vivo immunization. Our results show that cytoplasmic loading of OVA and beta-GAL into H-2b and H-2d splenocytes respectively, resulted in effective in vivo immunogens for class I-restricted CTL. To our surprise, control spleen cell preparations simply incubated with the exogenous, native protein for 10 min at 37 degrees C in isotonic medium and then washed could also induce a comparable class I-restricted CTL response following intravenous injection. Experiments using (H-2b X H-2d)F1 mice showed that protein pulsed splenocytes from one parental strain could effectively "cross prime" T cells restricted to the MHC of the other parental strain. In all cases, target cell recognition by the effector CTL generated by immunization with spleen cell-associated antigen required the antigen to be present in the cell cytoplasm. Thus the CTL do not recognize target cells exposed to soluble, exogenous antigen. These results, reminiscent of analogous experiments with cross priming by minor histocompatibility antigens, argue that class I-restricted processing and presentation of exogenous antigen can occur in vivo following immunization with cell-associated antigen.

Abstract
Interstitial dendritic cells (IDC) were first identified in the interstitium of non-lymphoid organs as leucocytes which stained intensely with anti-MHC class II antibodies. These cells have been identified in several species including man, and can be distinguished from tissue macrophages by their immunological phenotype and cytochemical and functional characteristics. IDC appear to be closely related to lymphoid dendritic cells (DC), and have the capacity to bind antigen and stimulate T lymphocyte responses. It seems probable that they represent a stage of nonlymphoid dendritic cell differentiation necessary for antigen surveillance, similar to the Langerhans cell of the skin. Exposure to antigen appears to induce migration of these cells into adjacent lymphatics and subsequent localization in the interfollicular areas of lymph node, where the DC present processed antigen to activate a primary T cell response. The IDC has been identified as the passenger leucocyte within organ allografts which contributes substantially to graft immunogenicity, so that eradication of donor organ IDC improves organ graft survival.

Abstract
Since the resolution of neural lesions and subsequent nerve damage in leprosy must inevitably involve the participation of immune cells sensitized to Mycobacteria, we have used the dissociated Schwann cell culture model to study the relationship between M. leprae-infected Schwann cells and sensitized immune cells. Our earlier study on light and ultrastructural observations showed that on infection with M. leprae, the cytomorphology of Schwann cells remains unaffected, while degenerative changes suggestive of apoptosis are seen in extraneous lymphocytes which are subsequently phagocytosed by the Schwann cells. We now present additional evidence confirming that the phagocytosis of splenic cells by Schwann cells is indeed a two-step process. The first involves M. leprae-dependent cytotoxicity to splenic cells. This is followed by phagocytosis of these cells, which is a secondary and M. leprae-independent phenomenon. This finding has implications particularly on the weak inflammatory response observed in nerve lesions of a majority of lepromatous patients.

Abstract
The interaction between M. leprae-infected cultured Schwann cells and sensitized splenic cells was noted both under light and electron microscopy. No evidence of cytomorphological changes in infected Schwann cells was obtained. However, sensitized splenic cells were noted to undergo degenerative changes suggestive of the phenomenon of apoptosis. Subsequently a large number of these degenerated cells were observed within the Schwann cell. Such a process has not been hitherto reported in the histopathology of leprous nerves. Nevertheless, these findings indicate an aberrant metabolic function in M. leprae-infected Schwann cells.

Abstract
In the introduction, we asked how MHC molecules on the surfaces of APC make contact with antigen-specific receptors on the surfaces of T cells. We have reviewed two models in which antigen-specific contacts occur with primary leukocyte populations in vitro. One system involves resting T cells; the other sensitized T lymphoblasts. At the onset of a primary immune response, dendritic cells seem critical for binding and activating both CD4+ and CD8+ subsets. Given the current evidence, we suggest that dendritic cells literally find the right T cell clone, and not vice versa, and that dendritic cells do so by first binding and surveying T cells by an antigen-independent mechanism. In the efferent limb of immunity, other types of APC including B cells and macrophages bind and stimulate freshly sensitized T lymphoblasts. Freshly isolated epidermal Langerhans cells do not cluster T cells by an antigen-independent mechanism but acquire this capacity during epidermal suspension culture. Under the control of GM-CSF, the Langerhans cell becomes a powerful accessory cell for the primary or sensitization limb of T-dependent immune responses like the MLR and primary antibody response. Isolated lymphoid dendritic cells have many features in common with interdigitating cells in lymphoid T areas, and may be related to some of the irregularly-shaped Ia+ cells in certain epithelia and interstitial regions. Contact with dendritic cells may be important in both central and peripheral pathways of T cell sensitization in situ.

Abstract
Peripheral lymph contains constitutively major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-positive, dendritic leucocytes (DL) with a veiled (VC) or dendritic (DC) shape. On the basis of phenotypic similarities to the interdigitating cells (IDC) of T-dependent areas of lymphoid tissues, they are believed, but not yet proven, to be IDC precursors that develop into mature IDC within the draining lymph nodes. In order to determine the relationship between VC/DC and IDC, highly purified radiolabelled peripheral lymph DL (collected by thoracic duct cannulation of mesenteric lymphadenectomized congenitally athymic, nude rats) were reinjected into the veins or footpads of syngeneic recipients. Later, host blood and lymph were collected and the tissues were biopsied and processed for scintillation counting or for light microscopic autoradiography combined with electron microscopy of neighbouring sections. The intravenously injected VC/DC did not enter lymph nodes or Peyer's patches directly from blood and did not re-enter the lamina propria of the gut, but became localized largely in the liver and the spleen. From the liver some of the cells proceeded via afferent lymphatics to the liver and the spleen. From the liver some of the cells proceeded via afferent lymphatics to the coeliac lymph nodes. Similarly, some of the locally injected cells were carried with peripheral lymph to the draining popliteal lymph nodes, although most were retained in the footpads. In the spleen the VC/DC entered the periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths and in the coeliac and popliteal lymph nodes they became localized in the paracortex, where they acquired the morphology of mature IDC.

Abstract
Allogeneic lymphocyte cytotoxicity (ALC), i.e., rapid rejection of i.v. injected allogeneic lymphocytes in unprimed hosts, is an example of NK activity. Apparently anomalous rejection patterns, such as acceptance of F1 hybrid cells by parental hosts and rejection of parental cells by F1 hybrid hosts in many strain combinations, would fit the hypothesis that the effector cells in ALC recognize the absence of certain self-molecules (passwords) rather than the presence of nonself determinants. However, cold target inhibition studies showed that ALC displays allospecificity: when a mixture of radiolabeled AO and DA cells were injected i.v. into euthymic or athymic PVG rats, adding a surplus of cold DA cells reduced killing only of labeled DA cells and vice versa. Furthermore, semiallogeneic cold target cells were ineffective in inhibiting elimination of fully allogeneic cells, which supports the argument against a modification of the hypothesis that self-determinants inhibit a postbinding stage of lysis. Finally, (DA x AO)F1 cells injected into (DA x PVG)F1 hosts were rapidly rejected, despite the fact that donor and host shared expressed DA determinants. In sum, our results show that a hypothesis based on inhibition of killing by self-determinants can only be sustained with extensive modifications, and favor the alternative mechanism that the effector cells positively recognize the presence of allospecific determinants on the target cell surface.

Abstract
Human peripheral blood monocytes were cultured under conditions which prevent macrophage development. Media containing selected charges of fetal calf serum as well as a number of serum-free and protein-free media were found to convert monocytes into homogenous populations of loosely adherent veiled cells. After one week of culture, these cells developed dendritiform elongations. Functionally, these cells acquired an increased capability of serving as accessory cells in T lymphocyte mitogenic stimulation. Phenotypically, they were strongly reduced in macrophage markers such as nonspecific esterase, phagocytosis and Fc-receptors. The majority of the population was even negative for these markers. It thus appears that highly active accessory cells, which closely approach the phenotype of lymphoid dendritic cells, could be deduced from monocytes. These accessory cells could be maintained in culture for several weeks without proliferation and without converting to macrophages. They could further be induced to differentiate to macrophages by an activity present in human serum. Ontogenetically, the accessory state as described here is a differentiation stage preceding macrophage differentiation. When macrophages differentiate from monocytes, they have to pass the transient stage of increased accessory activity.

Abstract
A possible role for the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in the localization of lymphocytes in different lymphoid organs was investigated using inbred mouse strains. Lymphocytes labelled with the intracellular fluorochrome Hoechst 33342 (H33342) were transfused intravenously (IV) into unimmunized mice and the distribution of these labelled lymphocytes examined. In some combinations (e.g. C57BL/6----CBA) 2 h after injection allogeneic lymphocytes accumulated in the region between the marginal zones and outer aspects of the white pulp of the spleen. In contrast, in syngeneic controls (e.g. CBA----CBA) the lymphocytes migrated normally into the while pulp. Similar results were obtained in Peyer's patches. Mapping studies in the spleen indicated that the failure to migrate normally is predominantly controlled by the MHC complex, although some non-MHC genes may play a role. In the case of the MHC the most definitive combination was BALB/c-H-2dm2 (H-2L deletion mutant) lymphocytes transfused into BALB/c recipients, the mutant lymphocytes failing to migrate normally and, therefore, implicating the H-2L region in the phenomenon. No differences in the viability of labelled lymphocytes at 6 and 24 h after injection into either syngeneic or allogeneic recipients suggests that the inability of cells to passage through lymphoid organs may represent inappropriate receptors rather than elimination of the allogeneic lymphocytes by natural killer cells (NK) as previously proposed.
