Abstract
We have studied the ability of the peripheral mononuclear cells (MNC) from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to generate a cytotoxic (CML) response against alloantigens. CML responses in SLE patients were significantly lower than those of normal individuals. Mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) assays conducted in parallel in these patients were decreased but to a lesser extent. Some of the patients exhibited parallel decreases in both CML and MLR tests, while others showed decreased CML responses but normal MLR responses. Optimal CML responses in SLE patients did not occur at a different time point than in the normals. Plasma from most SLE patients tested did not have an effect on CML and MLR responses of normal MNC; the plasma of only one patient consistently decreased the CML of normal cells. Depletion of adherent cells from MNC of SLE patients by Sephadex G-10 fractionation allowed better CML and MLR responses. Low CML responses in patients with SLE were associated with increased disease activity and increased serum DNA binding. No association between MLR responses in SLE patients and any of the above parameters was detected. SLE patients not having received any cytotoxic treatment exhibited the lowest CML responses, while these under treatment or treated in the past had higher, although not normal, responses. MLR responses were not affected by the treatment status of the patients.

Abstract
The anamnestic response by human bi-directional (BD) mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC) to restimulation by cells of the original stimulating type is generally strikingly reduced as compared to that of standard one-way cultures. This difference was shown not to be related to a change in kinetics nor was it due to exhaustion of the media or soluble factors since fresh media did not ameliorate the effect nor were supernatants from BD cultures found to be suppressive. The relative inhibition was also not reversed by removal of the allogeneic cells by phenotype specific antiserum. Cytotoxic tests with donor and responder specific antisera revealed that the cells bearing that phenotype were dramatically reduced in BD as compared to one-way cultures. Thus, the diminished secondary response appears to be due to cytotoxic elimination of the responder cells. This allogeneic cytotoxicity is dependent on non-T, phagocytic, adherent cells. The phenomenon is called Functional Cell Mediated Lympholysis (F-CML).

Abstract
NK cells can co-express inhibitory and activating killer Ig-like receptors (KIR) recognizing the same HLA class I ligand. We present evidence from experiments with NK cells expressing both activating (KIR2DS2) and inhibitory (KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3) receptors that the activating KIR can function without apparent interference from the inhibitory KIR. These studies used CD158b mAb that is equally reactive with KIR2DS2, KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3. First, we show using plastic-immobilized CD158b mAb that the activating KIR2DS2 is stimulated, resulting in NK cell division and degranulation. Second, we show using soluble CD158b mAb and FcRII (+) P815 cells that high concentrations of CD158b mAb trigger the inhibitory KIR, whereas low concentrations stimulate the activating KIR2DS2 resulting in NK cell division and cytolysis. These results demonstrate that the activating KIR2DS2 can function on cells co-expressing the inhibitory KIR2DL2 and/or KIR2DL3, indicating the potential for independent function of activating KIR with natural ligand.

Abstract
With the aim of characterizing the antiviral immune response to a non-cytocidal virus, we studied the outcome of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection in a number of gene knockout mouse strains. Two virus strains differing markedly in their capacity to spread and replicate inside the murine host were used. Our results reveal that very different outcomes may be observed depending on virus strain and immunocompetence of the host. Thus while CD4+ cells are not critical during the initial phase of virus control, infectious virus reappear in mice lacking CD4+ cells, B cells or CD40 ligand. Reappearance of virus is associated with impaired long-term CD8+ T-cell mediated immune surveillance, and the time to virus resurgence is inversely correlated to the replication rate of the virus. Our studies also reveal that interferon-gamma is a central cytokine, and depending on the rate of virus replication, mice lacking the ability to produce interferon-gamma may develop either a severe, mostly fatal, T-cell mediated wasting syndrome or a chronic infection characterized by long-term coexistence of antiviral cytotoxic T lymphocytes and infectious virus. Mathematical modelling indicates that these different outcomes may be explained in relatively simple mathematical terms. This suggests that modelling may be used as a means to predict critical host and virus parameters. Therefore, combining mathematical modelling with precise, quantitative, in vivo analyses looks to be a promising approach in addressing central quantitative issues in immunobiology.

Abstract
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine that became available for clinical use with the development of recombinant DNA technology. Patients with resistant or relapsed lymphoid neoplasm have been treated with high-dose IL-2 with some responses. The aim of the present study is to determine whether there may be a biological justification for the use of low dose subcutaneous (s.c.) IL-2 as maintenance therapy in patients with lymphoid neoplasm in complete remission with high risk of relapse. We treated 15 patients with sc IL-2, 4.5 Million International Units (MIU) daily, 5 days per week for 12 consecutive weeks, in the outpatient clinic. This therapy was well tolerated and could be administered in an outpatient regimen. It increased the eosinophil count (p = 0.009), but the number of granulocytes, monocytes, T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes did not change. The number of natural killer (NK) cells increased from 11% to 35% of all lymphocytes during IL-2 therapy (p = 0.0006). Effector lymphokine-activated killer activity (eLAK) also increased from 6x10(-3) Lytic Units (LU)/ml to 80x10(-3) LU/ml (p = 0.02). All these changes reached a "plateau" after the 4th week of therapy. The increase in the number of NK cells correlated strongly with the increase in eLAK activity (r = 0.96, p<0.0001). Disease-free survival was determined in 14 patients who completed the treatment and compared with historical controls. Patients treated with IL-2 had the same relapse risk (median time to relapse 11.1 months, 95% confidence interval 5.5-16.6) as did controls (median time to relapse 9.7 months, 95% confidence interval 1-27.7) (p = 0.9). Low dose s.c. IL-2 stimulated NK proliferation, which generated cytotoxic activity in vivo in patients with lymphoid neoplasms. However, these patients did not have a lower risk of disease relapse compared to historical controls.

Abstract
Despite intensified chemotherapy protocols, including autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT), stage IV neuroblastoma has a poor prognosis, and modern therapeutic trends are aimed at the eradication of minimal residual disease, which is though to be the main factor leading to relapse. In this pilot study, we report the systemic administration of high doses of interleukin-2 after ABMT in four patients. Five day cycles of IL-2 at a dose of 18 x 10(6) IU/m2/day were administered at variable time intervals as frequent as it was necessary to maintain the levels of natural killer (NK) cytotoxic activity higher than the median control value (40 LU/ml blood) throughout 1 year from the start of first IL-2 treatment. After IL-2 infusion, NK and LAK activities increased significantly (median 742 x 10(-3) LU/ml blood and 186.8 x 10(-3) LU/ml blood, respectively). Toxicities were transient and no life-threatening complications were observed. Fever, anorexia, skin rash and enlarged liver were always present. Anaemia, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, lymphocytosis and and eosinophilia occurred following most of the IL-2 courses. Although the small number of patients does not allow an estimation of the immunomodulatory-antineoplasic effects of IL-2, the results seem promising for the management of neuroblastoma patients.

Abstract
The glycoprotein processing inhibitor castanospermine (CS) and the monosaccharide mannose-6-phosphate (M6P), as well as some sulfated polysaccharides (SPS), have been shown to inhibit inflammation in rat models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and adjuvant-induced arthritis. Here, the anti-inflammatory effects of these agents have been further explored in murine models of allograft rejection and elicitation of peritoneal exudates. CS, M6P and the SPS, fucoidan, partially inhibited rejection of permanently accepted thyroid allografts induced by the i.p. injection of donor strain (H-2d) spleen cells with a reduction in leucocyte infiltration of 25-36%. However none of these agents reduced the more extensive leucocyte infiltration induced by the i.p. injection of P815 (H-2d) unless recipient mice were pretreated with the immunosuppressant, cyclosporin A (CsA). Elicitation of peritoneal exudates by thioglycollate was inhibited by CS, M6P and fucoidan with sustained leucopenia being induced by CS. In contrast, CS and fucoidan, but not M6P, inhibited antigen-elicited peritoneal exudates. These results suggest that CS, M6P and the SPS fucoidan exhibit subtle differences in their anti-inflammatory activity but probably inhibit inflammation at the level of leucocyte extravasation.

Abstract
Previous studies established that the high density (resting) natural killer (NK) cell subset (R-NK) of peripheral blood NK cells is unresponsive to interleukin-2 (IL-2) but can be induced to proliferate when cultured with gamma-irradiated malignant melanoma (MM-170) cells or mitomycin-C-treated activated T cells in the presence of an IL-2-conditioned medium (IL-2-CM). This study has examined additional requirements of this activation process. The induction of proliferation was dependent on cell to cell contact with metabolically active stimulator cells, although no evidence was obtained that stimulation was effected by soluble factors produced by the stimulator cells. Compared with IL-2-CM, rIL-2 was an inefficient costimulator for the induction of NK cell proliferation, suggesting that factors in IL-2-CM were required in addition to IL-2, but rIL-2 was as efficient as IL-2-CM in maintaining the proliferation of activated NK cells. Under optimum culture conditions, NK growth of up to 3200-fold occurred during a proliferation cycle of 18 days. Phenotypic analysis of the culture-generated quiescent NK cells revealed novel heterogeneity in CD16 (Fc gamma RIII) and CD56 (N-CAM) expression. Some NK cells lacked expression of both CD16 and CD56 (as identified using currently available monoclonal antibodies), while other NK cells showed differential CD16 epitope expression. Since quiescent NK cells can be obtained in large numbers and high purity, they will be a convenient source of NK cells to study the molecular processes involved in initiating NK cell proliferation.

Abstract
The role of suppressor macrophages (S-M phi) produced during generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) stimulated with allogeneic lymphocytes was investigated. Splenic CTL from C3H/He mice (H-2k) were generated by in vivo immunization and subsequent in vitro stimulation by splenic lymphocytes from C57B1/6 mice (H-2b) in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). In addition to in vitro standard 51Cr release assay, the CTL activity was mainly measured in vivo using the Winn assay against EL-4 thymoma cells in B6C3F1 mice (H-2b/k). In mice injected with CTL plus EL-4 cells survival rate was 20% compared with no survival of mice treated with normal spleen cells plus EL-4 cells. The antitumor activity of the CTL was significantly increased when immunized mice were treated with a 5 mg/kg ip dose of indomethacin at the time of immunization (80% survival). Macrophages were depleted from spleen cells of immunized mice by plastic adherence or carbonyl-iron treatment, replaced with an equivalent number of M phi from normal mice, and then introduced into a 5-day MLR. When the antitumor activity of the cells isolated from this MLR was measured in the Winn assay, 90-100% survival in EL-4-bearing mice was observed. In contrast, none of the mice inoculated with EL-4 alone and 20% of the mice that received CTL obtained after alloimmunization followed by MLR in addition to EL-4 survived. These results of CTL activity were confirmed by in vitro cytotoxicity tests. When the M phi isolated from spleens of immunized mice were analyzed for I-Jk antigen expression, a 2.5-fold increase was detected, compared with splenic M phi obtained from normal C3H/He mice. In contrast, Ia and I-Ak antigen expression was equivalent in M phi isolated from normal or immunized C3H/He mice. When immune spleen cells were treated with anti-I-Jk antiserum followed by complement and then, subjected to the MLR, the antitumor activity of CTL was significantly enhanced (80% survival). However, treatment of these cells with anti-I-Ak antiserum and complement did not alter CTL activity. These data suggest that the increase of S-M phi expressing I-Jk+ antigen to be induced during alloimmunization results in suppression of allospecific CTL-generation in MLR.

Abstract
When cultured with native or recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2) human small agranular lymphocytes acquire the ability to kill various tumor targets. The development of these IL-2 activated killer (IAK) cells, also known as LAK, is observed in the absence of antigen or mitogen. Interferons are known to augment the lytic effects of natural killer cells and cytolytic T lymphocytes. Our study was undertaken to examine the effect of human alpha, beta, and gamma interferons on the induction and the effector phase of IAK function. When cultured with small lymphoid cells IFN alone did not induce anti-tumor cytolytic activity in those lymphocytes. Despite their known anti-proliferative effects, none of the 3 IFN species at any concentrations tested inhibited the development of IAK activity when present during the entire culture period. IFN neither inhibited nor augmented the development of IAK cells under suboptimal conditions. Furthermore, activation of IAK cells was not affected by the presence of neutralizing antibodies to either alpha or gamma IFN. Post-activation exposure of IAK cells to IFN also failed to either augment or inhibit their lytic activity. Thus, neither endogenously generated nor exogenously added IFN had any effect on the IAK system, in contrast to their augmenting effects on NK cells and CTL.

Abstract
The suppressive properties of nonspecific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) populations, derived from murine fetal calf serum (FCS)-precultured cells expanded in interleukin 2 (operationally defined as FCS-CM-expanded cells), were investigated on CTL responses generated by syngeneic alloreactive lymphoid cells. Our results suggest that the addition of FCS-CM-expanded cell populations can inhibit the CTL response by elimination of the bone marrow-derived macrophage (BM M phi) population used as non-T accessory cells. Indeed, in the culture conditions used, removal of IL-2 by the FCS-CM-expanded cells as well as a direct inactivating effect on the CTL precursors (CTL-P) could be excluded as a reason for inhibition. On the other hand, we were able to show that the BM M phi population was very sensitive to the cytolytic activity exhibited by the inhibiting cells in a 3 h 51Cr-release assay and that the suppressor effect observed could be partially circumvented by a second addition of BM M phi on the second day after the initiation of the culture.

Abstract
It is generally thought that only viable cells can elicit a primary cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response. We present evidence that this is not so, since enucleated tumor cells can generate a strong cytolytic response of unprimed allogeneic human T lymphocytes. Cytoplasts (enucleated cells) were obtained by incubation with cytochalasin B and subsequent isopycnic centrifugation. Their purity was assessed by electron microscopy and flow cytometry. Membrane fractions were prepared by nitrogen cavitation, and used in parallel with cytoplasts and intact cells as stimulators in primary allo-CTL generation; although all cell fractions expressed high amounts of class I and II histocompatibility antigens, as assessed by flow cytometry and ELISA technique, only the cytoplasts generated a strong cytotoxic response of naive peripheral T cells, like that induced by intact cells. The dogma that an intact and metabolically active stimulator cell is required for the primary generation of CTLs is questioned.

Abstract
Cytotoxic cells resembling NK cells are generated from CD 3- small, lymphokine (LK) nonresponsive precursor cells during an 8 day culture period with mitomycin C-treated autologous T cell blasts and LK. Recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL2) can replace LK in this coculture system. Both stimuli are required for the generation of the cytotoxic cells, which can then be maintained in short term cultures by LK alone. The generation of the cytotoxic cells was inhibited in cultures containing 0.1 micrograms/ml cyclosporin (Cys). Cys did not inhibit the LK dependent growth of the cytotoxic cells. Cys also inhibited the mitogen and LK dependent stimulation of purified T cells, but did not inhibit the LK dependent proliferation of T cell blasts. In contrast to the results for the generation of the cytotoxic cells, Cys did not inhibit the activation/growth of peripheral blood NK cells by LK or rIL2. These studies support the notion that the precursors of the NK-like cytotoxic cells are at an earlier stage of differentiation than peripheral blood NK cells responsive to LK alone, and that the precursor cells are triggered into a differentiation pathway leading to the NK-like cytotoxic cells by a two-signal mechanism.

Abstract
Antisera to the mouse lymphocyte surface alloantigens Ly-6.1 and Ly-6.2 were used to further study the functional distribution of these antigens. After selective depletion with antiserum + rabbit complement (RC), lymph node or spleen cells from Ly-6 congenic (C3H and C3H.B6-Ly-6b) and noncongenic strains of mice were tested for: (a) their proliferative responses to T- and B-cell mitogens; and (b) their proliferative responses to alloantigens, or ability to stimulate in the MLR. Lymphoid cells required in the proliferative responses to the mitogens leucoagglutinin, concanavalin A (Con A), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) were Ly-6+. Lymph node responder cells in the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) were also Ly-6+, whereas spleen stimulator cells were Ly-6-. Treatment of lymph node cells with anti-Ly-6 sera in the absence of RC had no specific blocking effect on the response to any of these mitogens. The studies indicate that the Ly-6 antigen is a potentially valuable marker for distinguishing between functionally distinct Ly-1+ T-cell subsets.

Abstract
To investigate the role of systemic suppression during allopregnancy, CBA/J female mice were immunised against H-2d prior to mating. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity was tested at days 14-16 of pregnancy. A reduction of CTL activity was observed only in multiparous animals. Although a nonspecific suppression was detected in isopregnancy, suppression was more marked in allopregnancy. Conversely, the CTL activity observed in the spleen during the first pregnancy (iso or allo) was always significant in mice presensitized with 2 or 3 alloimmunizations prior to pregnancy. Such animals have in vivo effector cells, since allografts of Sarcoma Sa1 were rejected in secondary fashion in alloimmunized mice, while the fetus remained unharmed. These observations demonstrate that allospecific anti-MHC CTLs are specifically impaired in multiple allopregnancy, but also tend to rule out theories postulating that systemic suppression of CTL generation and function is required for successful allopregnancy.

Abstract
It has been postulated that ultraviolet radiation (UVR) alters antigen presentation by macrophages. This is thought to be due, in part, to inhibition of macrophage-derived interleukin 1 (IL-1), which is a hormone-like factor with immunoregulatory functions. Conventional stimulator cells for antigen presentation are macrophages; however, other cell types such as epidermal Langerhans cells are capable of antigen presentation. Keratinocytes also play a role in the immune system by providing a factor with IL-1-like activity, termed Epidermal cell-derived Thymocyte-Activating Factor (ETAF). The purpose of this study was to determine whether UVR affects alloantigen presentation by epidermal cells and if so, whether the UV-induced change is due to UVR alteration in ETAF activity. Epidermal cells from UV-treated BALB/c mice (UV-EC) or from non-UV-treated mice (EC) were x-irradiated and then cocultured for 5 days with allogeneic T cells from C57Bl/6 mice. UV-EC caused less T-cell stimulation than did EC from non-UV-treated animals. When chromatography purified fractions of ETAF were added to cultured UV-EC, partial restoration of T-cell stimulation was seen. These results suggest that this UV-induced defect in alloantigen presentation is due, in part, to decreased ETAF activity.

Abstract
Spleen cells obtained from normal mice were cultured with interleukin 2 (IL2); no antigen was added. After 4-5 days, these cultures contained effector cells which lysed autologous spleen target cells that were modified with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid or fluorescein isothiocyanate. No killing was seen on unmodified spleen target cells. These effector cells were Thy 1+, Lyt 1-, 2+ and were derived from Thy 1+ precursor cells. IL2 preparations induced the generation of such cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in a dose-dependent manner. IL2-induced CTL were shown to be different from the natural killer (NK) cells augmented by IL2 by virtue of their time of appearance in culture, by cold-target competition, and by different cell-surface markers. These results demonstrate that the IL2 signal may be sufficient for the induction of the differentiation of CTL precursors in the absence of an antigenic signal.

Abstract
Peripheral blood T cells from rats given a single oral dose of dexamethasone (DMS) or cyclophosphamide (CY) exhibited a differential sensitivity to these compounds as measured by lymphoproliferation in the presence of concanavalin A (Con A) or phytohemagglutinin hemagglutinin (PHA). Con A-responsive cells (T Con A) were found to be resistant to the effects of DMS, while the PHA-responsive population (T PHA) showed a dose-dependent suppression at dose levels of 0.35 and 1.00 mg/kg. DMS did not alter serum antibody production against sheep erythrocytes at the dosage level which produced a significant depression of the PHA response. Animals treated with CY showed enhanced Con A-mediated lymphoproliferation at a dose of 15 mg/kg and marked suppression at 45 mg/kg. The PHA-mediated response, however, exhibited only a dose-dependent suppression at both dosage levels. CY had no effect on the antibody response at doses that enhance Con A lymphoproliferation. These results suggest that T helper cells and T suppressor cells are not TpHA cells.

Abstract
Parenteral NZB and B10.D2, F1 and F1 x B10.D2 mice were studied to determine the genetic control of (1) altered B-cell IgD expression, (2) plasma cell frequency, (3) IgM secretion per plasma cell, (4) primary in vitro cytotoxic T-cell responses to H-2-compatible cells, (5) production of thymocyte-binding antibodies, and (6) production of red-cell-specific antibodies. The results demonstrate that, in this cross, IgD abnormalities and production of red-cell-specific antibodies were recessive traits. There was a common genetic influence on plasma cell frequency, IgM secretion per plasma cell and production of thymocyte-binding antibodies which was distinct from the genes governing the ability to generate a cytotoxic T lymphocyte response to H-2-compatible cells.

Homogeneous T-cell populations produced by activating lymphocytes to I-, K-, or K+ D- region-encoded determinants of the mouse H-2 complex release interleukin 2 when restimulated by concanavalin A. Contrary to earlier reports on the cellular origin of the lymphokine, we find that interleukin 2 production can be either Ly2+ or Ly2- T-cell-dependent.

Abstract
Depletion of adherent cells from stimulator and responder lymphocytes by a single filtration through nylon wool columns led to complete abrogation of the cytotoxic response to the stimulating alloantigen. Cytotoxic responses were restored by adding anti-Thy-1 + complement-greated normal peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) syngeneic or allogeneic to the responding population. Alternatively, the response could be reconstituted with costimulator, a lymphokine obtained by stimulation of spleen cells with concanavalin A. Costimulator was not itself cytotoxic and induced few or no cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CL) in the absence of stimulator cells. Costimulator was also more efficient than allogeneic PEC, which in turn were more efficient than syngeneic PEC, in reconstituting the cytotoxic response. The number of CL produced to the activating alloantigen was shown to increase with increasing concentration of costimulator. More interestingly, in the presence of a relatively high concentration of costimulator, CL were also activated to target cells that differ in H-2 haplotype from the stimulating alloantigen. Lysis of the third-party target cells could not be inhibited by cold targets syngeneic to the activating alloantigen. A clonal assay for cytotoxic precursors was used to confirm that CL for the activating alloantigen and CL for the third-party H-2 antigens were derived from different progenitors. Only about 37% of the cytotoxic clones produced were specific for the activating alloantigen. These observations are explained in terms of a two-signal model of CL activation.

Abstract
Canine bronchoalveolar cells, obtained by lavage, were enriched for lymphocytes by adsorption to plastic or by filtration over nylon wool and tested for their ability to function in the mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) reaction. Pulmonary lymphocytes were markedly hyporesponsive to stimulation with allogeneic cells in vitro: their responses rarely exceeded 10% of those of blood lymphocytes obtained simultaneously from the same donor. However, pulmonary lymphocytes did function as stimulating cells, inducing allogeneic blood lymphocytes to proliferate in MLC. The failure of pulmonary lymphocytes to respond in MLC, coupled with their ability to stimulate clearly, distinguishes these cells from circulating blood lymphocytes. The effect of canine surface active material (SAM), a lipoprotein unique to the lung, on the function of blood lymphocytes in MLC was studied. A transient exposure to SAM in vitro profoundly suppressed blood lymphocyte responses to allogenic stimulation, but had only a minor effect on their function as stimulator cells in MLC. Thus, exposure to SAM in vitro converts normal blood lymphocytes into cells whose function mimics that of pulmonary lymphocytes. These results suggest that exposure of pulmonary lymphocytes to SAM in vivo may contribute to their abnormal immune reactivity in vitro.

Abstract
The non-T accessory cell requirement for cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) generation in vitro was studied in a system which makes use of particulate membrane preparations as a source of alloantigen, and spleen cells from alloimmune mice as a source of responding cells. It is shown that removal of nylon-adherent cells from the responding cell population strongly reduced CTL generation, whereas direct removal of Ig+, phagocytic or plastic-adherent cells had no effect. The CTL response of the nylon-nonadherent cell population could be reconstituted by the addition of normal spleen cells, which by themselves do not generate CTL in response to particulate alloantigen. The accessory cell function of normal spleen cells was not affected by depletion of T cells or of phagocytic cells, but was sensitive to gamma-irradiation (1000 rd). The system thus demonstrates the requirement for a nylon-adherent accessory cell population in the secondary CTL response to particulate alloantigens which does not exhibit the typical characteristics of T cells, B cells or macrophages.

Abstract
Host reactivities not requiring immunization in the mouse, especially natural resistance of irradiated animals to accept grafts of normal or malignant hemopoietic cells, were compared with NK activity against the YAC-1 lymphoma. The effects of several independent variables known to influence natural resistance in vivo had a similar effect on the NK system. Figure 12 lists an impressive array of shared properties and positive correlations. In contrast, the distinctions were few and minor. Many of the positive correlations were of particular significance since the experimental variables either have opposing or no effects on conventional induced immunity. The multiplicity and pervasiveness of these correlations suggest that the cellular mechanisms underlying natural reactivities are similar or common. Cytotoxic effectors mediating natural resistance to normal cells, tumors, and cells infected with intracellular pathogens may be distinct in terms of target selectivity, yet belong to a single cell lineage subject to common regulatory influences for differentiation and function. Regulation of reactivity via suppressor cells was studied in the NK system only. The spleens of mice selected for low levels of NK activity (resulting from young age, irradiation, and treatment with the macrophage-active agents l-carrageenan or hydrocortisone acetate) contained cells capable of inhibiting the lytic function of NK effectors taken from untreated adult donors. All the suppressor cells studied were thymus-independent, as judged by their occurrence in spleens of genetically athymic mice; the suppressive function was resistant to 2000 rads of gamma-rays administered in vitro and was not restricted by the major histocompatibility complex, without exception. However, two major classes of suppressors were identified: (a) macrophagelike cells inducible by l-carrageenan or hydrocortisone acetate, and (b) nonadherent cells found in spleens of untreated infants and of irradiated adult mice. It is proposed that the suppression of NK cytolysis demonstrated in vitro was a manifestation of regulatory mechanisms modulating the level of NK activity in vivo. Macrophagelike cells that are induced, activated, or inactivated by bacteria, viruses, hormones, and other agents may act as regulators of differentiation, maturation, and function of cells belonging to the NK lineage. Nonadherent cells could be either a distinct class of suppressors or immature NK cells capable of binding but not lysing target cells. In the latter case, regulation would be achieved via competitive binding of targets by pre-NK cells presumably in dynamic equilibrium with functional (i.e. matured) NK effectors.

Abstract
Human peripheral blood lymphocytes have been sensitized in vitro to influenza virus antigen. After an induction period of 4--14 days, cytotoxic cells which lyse autologous influenza virus-infected lymphoid cells could be demonstrated. The cytotoxic cell is a T lymphocyte which shows specificity for sensitizing influenza virus type A or B. It cannot distinguish between major subtypes of influenza A virus. The use of virus-infected normal lymphoid cells as target cells overcame the difficulties of nonspecific killing encountered with some transformed cells.

Abstract
The effect of intravenous injection of 10(6) BALB/c spleen cells into C57B1/6J recipients was assayed by both mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) of recipient lymphocytes, and by grafting donor (BALB/c) thyroids into recipient mice. It was observed that a single intravenous injection produced depression of proliferative and cytotoxic T cell responses in MLC of spleen, lymph node and peripheral blood lymphocytes of the recipients. This effect was specific for the sensitizing genotype (MLC of recipient and third-party CBA/H lymphocytes was unaffected), and persisted for several days after sensitization. The pattern of this diminished response suggested that the effect was due to a combination of recruitment of reactive lymphocytes from peripheral lymphoid populations, and the generation of alloantigen (H-2?)-specific suppressor T cells in the spleen. In contrast to these findings in vitro, a similar sensitization led only to accelerated rejection of thyroid allografts in vivo.
