Abstract
Arousal anxiety has a great impact on reaction time, physiological parameters and motor performance. Numerous studies have focused on the influence of anxiety on muscular activity during simple non ecologic task. We investigate the impact of a moderate state-anxiety (arousal stressor) on the specific component of a complex multi-joint ecologic movement during a reaction time task of auditory stimulus-response. Our objective is to know if central and peripheral voluntary motor processes were modulated in the same way by an arousal stressor. Eighteen women volunteers performed simple reaction time tasks of auditory stimulus-response. Video-recorded Stroop test with interferences was used to induced moderate state-anxiety. Electromyographic activity of the wrist extensor was recorded in order to analyse the two components of the reaction time: the premotor and motor time. In anxiogenic condition, an acceleration and an increase of muscular activity of the reaction time was obtained. This increase was due to a stronger muscle activity during the premotor time in the anxiogenic condition. Arousal anxiety has a different impact on central and peripheral voluntary motor processes. The modifications observed could be related to an increase in arousal related to a higher anxiety in order to prepare the body to act.

Abstract
In acute experiments performed in decerebrated and spinalized (T13) cats, an intraspinal injection of clonidine, a noradrenergic agonist, restricted to mid-lumbar segments L3–L4, can induce hindlimb locomotion, whereas yohimbine, a noradrenergic antagonist, can block spinal locomotion, and a second spinal lesion at L4 can abolish all locomotor activity. In the present study, we investigated whether the abolition of locomotion after this second spinal lesion was due to an acute spinal shock or to the functional disconnection of the rostral and caudal lumbar segments. In seven cats, first spinalized at T13 and having recovered treadmill locomotion, a second transection was performed at lower lumbar levels. Video and electromyographic recordings were used to evaluate locomotor performance. Results show that after a second transection at L2 or rostral L3 levels, spinal locomotion was maintained; when the second lesion was performed at caudal L3 or L4, all locomotor activity was abolished even after several weeks of attempted locomotor training; vigorous fast paw shakes (FPS) were observed in all cases; and after an intraperitoneal injection of clonidine in cats with a second transection below L4, perineal stimulation induced hyperextension of the hindlimbs but no locomotion. Considering that the main motoneuron pools of the hindlimbs are caudal to L4 and are still functional after the second spinal transection, as evidenced by the presence of FPS, we conclude that the mid-lumbar spinal segments are essential for the specific expression of spinal locomotion but not necessarily for other rhythmic motor patterns.

Abstract
Primary deficiency of surfactant is responsible for the respiratory distress syndrome and concerns premature neonates born before 33 weeks of gestation. However, newborns may develop respiratory disorders related to a secondary deficiency or dysfunction of surfactant. We report the course of three extremely low birth weight premature infants who experienced clinical respiratory decompensation at two weeks and showed a marked improvement after exogenous natural surfactant administration.

Abstract
This paper reviews findings on the adaptive changes of locomotion in cats after spinal cord or peripheral nerve lesions. From the results obtained after lesions of the ventral/ventrolateral pathways or the dorsal/dorsolateral pathways, we conclude that with extensive but partial spinal lesions, cats can regain voluntary quadrupedal locomotion on a treadmill. Although tract-specific deficits remain after such lesions, intact descending tracts can compensate for the lesioned tracts and access the spinal network to generate voluntary locomotion. Such neuroplasticity of locomotor control mechanisms is also demonstrated after peripheral nerve lesions in cats with intact or lesioned spinal cords. Some models have shown that recovery from such peripheral nerve lesions probably involves changes at the supra spinal and spinal levels. In the case of somesthesic denervation of the hindpaws, we demonstrated that cats with a complete spinal section need some cutaneous inputs to walk with a plantigrade locomotion, and that even in this spinal state, cats can adapt their locomotion to partial cutaneous denervation. Altogether, these results suggest that there is significant plasticity in spinal and supraspinal locomotor controls to justify the beneficial effects of early proactive and sustained locomotor training after central (Rossignol and Barbeau 1995; Barbeau et al. 1998) or peripheral lesions.Key words: spinal lesions, nerve lesions, locomotion, neuroplisticity, locomotor training.

Abstract
In most species, locomotor function beneath the level of a spinal cord lesion can be restored even if the cord is completely transected. This suggests that there is, within the spinal cord, an autonomous network of neurons capable of generating a locomotor pattern independently of supraspinal inputs. Recent studies suggest that several physiological and neurochemical changes have to occur in the neuronal networks located caudally to the lesion to allow the expression of spinal locomotion. Some evidence of this plasticity will be addressed in this review. In addition, original data on the functional organisation of the lumbar spinal cord will also be presented. Recent works in our lab show that segmental responsiveness of the spinal cord of the cat to locally micro-injected drugs in different lumbar segments, in combination with complete lesions at various level of the spinal cord, suggest a rostro-caudal organisation of spinal locomotor control. Moreover, the integrity of midlumbar segments seems to be crucial for the expression of spinal locomotion. These data suggest that the regions of critical importance for locomotion can be confined to a restricted portion of the spinal cord. Later, these midlumbar segments could be targeted by electrical stimulation or grafts to improve recovery of function. Understanding the changes in spinal cord neurophysiology and neurochemistry after a lesion is of critical importance to the improvement of treatments for locomotor rehabilitation in spinal-cord-injured patients.

Abstract
Hindlimb sensory deprivation is known to induce a decrease in the cortical representation of hindpaw, and an increase in the size of the cutaneous receptive fields. The aim of the present study was to determine (i) the time-course of recovery when the rat retrieves a normal use of its limbs after a 14-day period of sensory disruption and (ii) whether a 1-day period of sensory deprivation is sufficient to induce a plasticity. Our results indicate that the remodelling of the cortical map was not observed after 1 day of sensory deprivation. On the other hand, the recovery was achieved after 6 h. These findings suggest that a procedure reducing sensory function resulted in reversible changes in the somatosensory cortex. The recovery was more rapid than the induction of plasticity.

Abstract
There have been many reports describing modifications of the sensory and motor cortex following various types of disuse. Hypodynamia--hypokinesia is characterized by the absence of weight-bearing and by a decrease in motor activity. We have shown a reorganization of the cortical cartography after hypodynamia--hypokinesia. In order to give an anatomical account for this cortical plasticity, we set out to determine whether cerebral and spinal structures exhibited variations of their neuronal activation. For this purpose, immunocytochemical detection of Fos protein was performed in the rat brain and spinal cord. Following stimulation of the sciatic nerve, Fos protein was detected in the primary and secondary somatosensory cortex in control rats and in rats submitted to an episode of 14 days of hypodynamia--hypokinesia. Results showed that the stimulation of the sciatic nerve induced an increase in the number of Fos-immunoreactive neurons in all these structures. Moreover, after hypodynamia--hypokinesia, the number of Fos-immunoreactive neurons was increased in the primary and secondary somatosensory cortex and in the spinal cord. These results provide evidence for a higher activation of cortical cells after hypodynamia--hypokinesia in comparison to controls. These data support the hypothesis that hypodynamia--hypokinesia contributes to the development of functional plasticity.

Abstract
The recent recognition of the presence of rafts in the plasma membrane and of their involvement in cell signaling has strongly stimulated the search for their function in receptor-mediated signal transduction in lymphocytes. Recent progress suggests that a general feature of membrane rafts is to serve as platforms wherein the signaling cascades triggered through different multichain immune recognition receptors (e.g. the TCR, BCR and FcepsilonRI) are initiated and organized.

Abstract
It is well known that both neuromuscular and perceptual properties are affected during spaceflight. These modificaitons can therefore induce dramatic alterations in the mechanical basis of movements and locomotion disturbances. The main objectives of this study were: 1) to examine whether the nervous control of muscular activity in the upper limbs of the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) was modified in a microgravity environment; and 2) to quantify the electromyographic (EMG) pattern of biceps (BI) and triceps (TRI) muscles pre-, in-, and postflight during performance of goal-directed movements and locomotion.

Abstract
Since the last 25 years, the cortex is considered as a dynamic entity, susceptible of changes. Various types of modifications in stimuli may lead to the plasticity of the target neurons. These include immobilisation, denervation, amputation, deafferentation... In the somatosensory system, the most important changes are a substantial reorganisation of the cortical somatotopic representation, and an enlargement of the receptive fields (RF) of cortical neurons. Hindlimb suspension (HS) is characterized by the absence of weight-bearing and a reduced motor activity. In these conditions, the cutaneous receptors located on the foot sole are deactivated. Our hypothesis is that this condition of HS can produce a reorganisation of the somatosensory cortex (SmI) and a modification in the size of the cutaneous RF.

Abstract
This study was performed to determine if hypodynamia-hypokinesia (HH) could induce a reorganization of the rat somatosensory cortex. The cortical hindpaw representation was determined by stimulating the limb and recording multi-unit cortical activity. The size of the cutaneous receptive fields was also measured. After 14 days of HH, the size of the cortical hindpaw representation was decreased. The proportion of small cutaneous receptive fields decreased while the large ones increased. After 7 days of HH, no change in the two studied parameters was noticed in five animals. In the other rats, a number of sites unresponsive to cutaneous stimulation or with high thresholds was observed. This study provides evidence of a plasticity of the somatosensory cortex induced by a situation that reduces both sensory and motor functions. The cortical reorganization occurs in two stages.

Abstract
T-cell receptors (TCRs) upon binding to peptide-MHC ligands transduce signals in T lymphocytes. Tyrosine phosphorylations in the cytoplasmic domains of the CD3 (gammadeltaepsilon) and zeta subunits of the TCR complex by Src family kinases initiate the signaling cascades via docking and activation of ZAP-70 kinase and other signaling components. We examined the role of the low-density detergent-insoluble membranes (DIMs) in TCR signaling. Using mouse thymocytes as a model, we characterized the structural organization of DIMs in detail. We then demonstrated that TCR engagement triggered an immediate increase in the amount of TCR/CD3 present in DIMs, which directly involves the engaged receptor complexes. TCR/CD3 recruitment is accompanied by the accumulation of a series of prominent tyrosine-phosphorylated substrates and by an increase of the Lck activity in DIMs. Upon TCR stimulation, the DIM-associated receptor complexes are highly enriched in the hyperphosphorylated p23 zeta chains, contain most of the TCR/CD3-associated, phosphorylation-activated ZAP-70 kinases and seem to integrate into higher order, multiple tyrosine-phosphorylated substrate-containing protein complexes. The TCR/CD3 recruitment was found to depend on the activity of Src family kinases. We thus provide the first demonstration of recuitment of TCR/CD3 to DIMs upon receptor stimulation and propose it as a mechanism whereby TCR engagement is coupled to downstream signaling cascades.

Abstract
Although much has been learned about CD8 structure-function properties, it has so far not been tested whether the nature of the TCR is sufficient to transfer the property of CD8 dependence versus non-dependence to CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and their precursors differentiating in T cell receptor (TCR)-transgenic (Tg) mice. In the present study, we compared the characteristics of dependence on CD8 for stimulation of CTL precursors and antigen-specific cytolysis by CD8+ T cells from two TCR-Tg mice expressing respectively the TCR (Tg) from a "CD8-dependent" and from a "CD8-independent" CTL clone, which were both reactive against the H-2Kb alloantigen and originated from H-2k mice. The results indicate that the property of the Tg+CD8+ cells from H-2k TCR-Tg mice corresponds to that of the CTL clone of origin, demonstrating that it is linked to the nature of the TCR. Consistent with this property, Tg+CD4+ cells could also differentiate into H-2Kb-specific CTL when originating from the "CD8-independent", but not from the "CD8-dependent" Tg-TCR. The influence of the property of "CD8 dependence" on negative selection occurring in TCR-Tg H-2k/b mice was apparent at two levels: (i) in the thymus, the extent of deletion was much more pronounced for the "CD8-independent" TCR-Tg mice; (ii) in the periphery, Tg+(hi) cells with low to negative CD8 expression were present for the "CD8-dependent" Tg-TCR, whereas only Tg+CD4-CD8- cells with low surface Tg-TCR and CD3 expression were found for the "CD8-independent" Tg-TCR, indicating that Tg+CD4-CD8- cells are susceptible to tolerance induction involving TCR/CD3 surface down-modulation. Furthermore, different in vitro conditions led to H-2Kb-induced stimulation of Tg+CD4-CD8- cells to differentiate into CTL detected in an anti-TCR clonotypic monoclonal antibody redirected cytolysis assay. Culture in interleukin-2 of H-2k/b Tg+CD4-CD8- cells was sufficient to induced CTL activity in the "CD8-independent" model, whereas stimulation with cells which overexpressed H-2Kb was required in addition to interleukin-2 to induce CTL differentiation in the "CD8-dependent" model. These data suggest that peripheral Tg+CD4-CD8- cells present in a situation of in vivo tolerance to H-2Kb can still be triggered by H-2Kb with a sensitivity correlated with the degree of CD8 dependence.

Abstract
We recently identified Vav as a Ras-activating guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) stimulated by a T-cell antigen receptor-coupled protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). Here, we describe a novel, protein kinase-independent alternative pathway of Vav activation. Phorbol ester, 1,2-diacylglycerol, or ceramide treatment of intact T cells, Vav immunoprecipitates, or partially purified Vav generated by in vitro translation or COS-1 cell transfection stimulated the Ras exchange activity of Vav in the absence of detectable tyrosine phosphorylation. GEF activity of gel-purified Vav was similarly stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Stimulation was resistant to PTK and protein kinase C inhibitors but was blocked by calphostin, a PMA and diacylglycerol antagonist. In vitro-translated Vav lacking its cysteine-rich domain, or mutated at a single cysteine residue within this domain (C528A), was not stimulated by PMA but was fully activated by p56lck. This correlated with increased binding of radiolabeled phorbol ester to COS-1 cells expressing wild-type, but not C528A-mutated, Vav. Thus, Vav itself is a PMA-binding and -activated Ras GEF. Recombinant interleukin-1 alpha stimulated Vav via this pathway, suggesting that diglyceride-mediated Vav activation may couple PTK-independent receptors which stimulate production of lipid second messengers to Ras in hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
Ag receptor triggering in B cells stimulates the activity of receptor-associated tyrosine protein kinases (TPK), leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular substrates, one of which is the Vav proto-oncogene product. We have recently determined that Vav is a TPK-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras in T cells. Here, we show that B cell extracts or Vav immunoprecipitates contain a Ras GDP/GTP exchange activity that is stimulated upon surface Ig (slg) triggering. The receptor-mediated stimulation of Vav exchange activity was blocked by the TPK antagonist, herbimycin A. Furthermore, immunodepletion of Vav from the B cell extracts removed approximately 80% of the Ras GDP/GTP exchange activity. These findings indicate, first, that B cell-derived Vav possesses GDP/GTP exchange activity for Ras; second, that the exchange activity of Vav is accelerated by a slg-triggered, herbimycin A-sensitive TPK and, third, that Vav accounts for most of the receptor-stimulated Ras GDP/GTP exchange activity. Thus, Vav may serve as a critical component in slg-mediated signal transduction pathways by coupling receptor-associated TPK to the activation of Ras proteins.

Abstract
We have studied tolerance induction in transgenic CBA mice expressing H-2Kb genes under the influence of guinea-pig alpha-lactalbumin (KAL) or human beta-globin gene promoter (K beta). KAL radio-resistant cells, but not bone marrow derived cells, induce tolerance to H-2Kb in chimeric mice. In contrast, bone marrow derived and radio-resistant cells of K beta mice induce tolerance. Although appropriate, tissue-specific, expression of H-2Kb molecules occurs in KAL and K beta mice, H-2Kb is expressed at low levels in thymus of transgenic mice. In addition, dendritic cells and macrophages express H-2Kb molecules when K beta, but not when KAL bone marrow is cultured in vitro. The mode of tolerance induction was examined in double transgenic mice by mating KAL or K beta mice to mice expressing TCR transgenes (Tg-TCR) derived from a H-2Kb specific, CD8-independent cytotoxic T cell clone. In both cases, a large number of Tg-TCR+ CD8+CD4+ thymocytes develop but mature CD8+CD4- thymocytes fail to appear suggesting that thymocytes are eliminated late in development. Some CD8-CD4- and CD8-CD4+ Tg-TCR+ T cells develop in double transgenic mice and respond to activation through their TCR-CD3 complex in vitro, although no responses to stimulation with H-2Kb expressing cells were detected. Thus, tolerance induction in KAL and K beta mice proceeds via a deletional mechanism that is inefficient due either to low numbers of H-2Kb expressing thymic cells or to the low levels of H-2Kb expressed by thymic cells, or to a combination of these factors.

Abstract
We recently identified Vav, the product of the vav proto-oncogene, as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Ras. Vav is enzymatically activated by lymphocyte antigen receptor-coupled protein tyrosine kinases or independently by diglycerides. To further evaluate the physiological role of Vav, we assessed its GDP-GTP exchange activity against several Ras-related proteins in vitro and determined whether Vav activation in transfected NIH 3T3 fibroblasts correlates with the activity status of Ras and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. In vitro translated purified Vav activated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or phosphorylation with recombinant p56lck displayed GEF activity against Ras but not against recombinant RacI, RacII, Ral, or RhoA proteins. Expression of vav or proto-vav in stably transfected NIH 3T3 cells led to a approximately 10-fold increase in basal or PMA-stimulated Ras exchange activity, respectively, in total-cell lysates and Vav immunoprecipitates. Elevated GEF activity was paralleled in each case by a significant increase in the proportion of active, GTP-bound Ras. PMA had a minimal effect on the low Ras. GTP level in untransfected control fibroblasts but increased it from 20 to 37% in proto-vav-transfected cells. vav-transfected cells displayed a constitutively elevated Ras. GTP level (35%), which was not increased further by PMA treatment. MAP kinases, known downstream intermediates in Ras-dependent signaling pathways, similarly exhibited increased basal or PMA-stimulated activity in Vav-expressing cells by comparison with normal NIH 3T3 cells. These results demonstrate a physiologic interaction between Vav and its target, Ras, leading to MAP kinase activation.

Abstract
Signal transduction mechanisms leading to effector functions in mouse cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones were studied following the introduction of exogenous molecules by electroporation. Conditions were defined in which the application of an electric pulse permeabilized the CTL without affecting functions such as antigen-dependent or antibody-mediated cytotoxicity. When a non-permeant Ca2+ chelator such as EGTA was added in the external medium during the electric pulse, it inhibited subsequent target cell cytolysis carried out in the presence of external Ca2+, thereby indicating the efficiency of EGTA uptake. Results obtained in this system, using a 13 amino-acid protein kinase C (PKC) pseudo-substrate peptide, indicated that it selectively inhibited cytolysis, whereas a substrate peptide with one amino-acid substitution was not inhibitory. This suggests that the technique could be used to study the signal transduction mechanisms of CTL clones which lead to the expression of effector functions.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated that some V beta 6+, CD4+, Mls-1a-specific T cell clones had cytolytic activity when stimulated with anti-T cell receptor(TcR)/CD3 monoclonal antibodies (mAb), but not with targets expressing Mls-1a, although they produced lymphokines (interleukin 2 and interferon-gamma) in response to both types of stimuli. To examine the possibility that lack of cytolysis resulted from expression of the Mls-1a antigen on merely a fraction of splenic B blasts, we (a) used the B cell lymphoma LBB.3.4.16 and (b) measured esterase secretion which is generally concurrent with cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity. The B cell lymphoma maximally stimulated the T cell clone for interferon-gamma production when responding and stimulating cells were incubated at a 1:1 ratio, but it was never killed by the Mls-1a-specific T cell clone unless TcR/CD3-specific mAb were added. Furthermore, a fivefold excess of the Mls-1a B cell lymphoma did not induce any secretion of esterase, which was observed only in the presence of the TcR/CD3-specific mAb. Comparison of the reactivity of two Mls-1a-specific T cell hybridomas expressing the same TcR at similar surface density, revealed both quantitative and qualitative differences between CD3-specific mAb and Mls stimulation of the hybridomas. A small quantitative difference in the sensitivity of hybridoma FJ22.5 to stimulation with V beta 6 or CD3-specific mAb resulted in a marked decrease in efficiency of stimulation by Mls-1a for interleukin 2 production and to inability to detect growth inhibition by Mls-expressing cells. A qualitative difference was observed when analyses of inositol phosphate production were performed under optimal conditions of stimulation of the highly responsive T cell hybridoma (FJ8.1): only stimulation with CD3-specific mAb, but not Mls-expressing cells, could induce detectable inositol phosphate production. Lack of cytolysis of Mls-1a class II-expressing B cells may have evolutionary significance in view of the recent mapping of Mls to mouse mammary tumor virus genes.

Abstract
Abstract
Bifunctional antibodies specific for a determinant within the T cell receptor (TcR) complex of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and a determinant expressed on the surface of the target cell will effectively mediate cytolysis. In such a lytic system anti-Lyt-2 antibody can block cytolysis. We have observed that the amount of inhibition varies considerably from clone to clone and surprisingly correlates well with inhibition of conjugate formation as mediated by bifunctional antibody. This implies that inhibition of antibody-mediated killing occurs as the result of reduction of the avidity of the effector cell for its target, the same mechanism responsible for inhibition of receptor-mediated lysis by anti-Lyt-2. In light of the similarity between the mechanism of inhibition by anti-Lyt-2 of receptor-mediated and antibody-mediated cytolysis, we compared the ability of anti-Lyt-2 to inhibit cytolysis in these two different assay systems by using a number of different CTL clones. Whereas the majority of secondary CTL clones (presumed to have high affinity TcR) are inhibited equally in both assay systems, most primary CTL (presumed to have low affinity TcR) are more susceptible to inhibition by anti-Lyt-2 in their receptor-specific than their antibody-directed cytolysis. These results, taken together with an apparent correlation between the amount of Lyt-2 expressed on the cell surface and susceptibility to inhibition, suggest anti-Lyt-2 may block CTL function by sterically inhibiting mobility of the TcR complex.

Abstract
The T cell receptor alpha and beta chain genes donated by an H-2 class I-specific, CD8-dependent cytotoxic T cell clone were transferred, alone or in combination with the Lyt-2 gene, into a class II-restricted, CD4+ T cell hybridoma. Two important points emerged. First, the alpha and beta T cell receptor genes endowed the recipient with the H-2 class I specificity of the donor only if the same cell had also been transfected with the Lyt-2 gene. Second, the functional Lyt-2 molecule was expressed on the transfected cells in the absence of the Lyt-3 polypeptide. These results demonstrate that, besides the T cell receptor, the Lyt-2 polypeptide is the only subset-specific molecule required to retarget a class II-reactive, CD4+ T cell line toward H-2 class I molecules.

Abstract
The activation-induced phosphorylation of T-cell antigen receptor (Ti)-associated proteins was investigated in order to analyse possible signal-transduction mechanisms leading to two distinct effector functions of a mouse cytolytic T-cell clone (KB5.C20): target cell killing (independent of protein synthesis) and de novo production of gamma interferon (gIFN; dependent on gIFN gene expression). Ti-associated T3-like proteins were first identified by immunoprecipitation of 125I-labelled cell surface proteins from 1% digitonin lysates of clone KB5.C20 by 1- and 2-dimensional (non-reduced (NR)/reduced (R)) gel electrophoresis. In addition to the alpha and beta chains of the Ti (NR: 80-Kd; R: 43 and 40 Kd), two doublets of 35-37 Kd (NR) and 32-34 Kd (NR) leading to bands of 25, 16 and 14 Kd (R) were identified, as well as three bands (25, 23 and 22 Kd (NR)) leading to 27-, 25- and 21-Kd bands (R). Activation of clone KB5.C20 (prelabelled with 32P-orthophosphate) with either anti-Ti mAb or exposure to both ionomycin and phorbol myristic acetate (PMA) induced the phosphorylation of 21- and 25-27-Kd (R) Ti-associated proteins, whereas exposure to either ionomycin or PMA alone induced only weak phosphorylation of 21-Kd (R) components. A weak phosphorylation of 32- and 34-Kd Ti-associated proteins was sometimes observed after stimulation with anti-Ti mAb. Functional studies suggested that activation for gIFN production was observed only when both the 21- and 25-27-Kd proteins were phosphorylated, whereas activation for killing (when measured by PMA-induced non-specific killing) could occur in conditions where no phosphorylation of the 25-27-Kd protein was detected.

The present studies have made use of in vitro derived H-2Kb mutants to analyze the fine specificity of alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The variants were derived by negatively selecting mutagenized tumor cells with a monoclonal anti-H-2Kb antibody and positively selecting for residual cells expressing serologically altered H-2Kb molecules. Details of this procedure are described in the companion paper. Selected populations of bulk alloreactive and cloned CTL were examined for recognition of the variants. In contrast to the serologic findings presented in the companion paper, there does not appear to be a correlation between the monoclonal antibody used to select the R8 variant and the CTL specificities recognized. In several instances, CTL clones could discriminate between variants having identical serologic profiles. Therefore, it would appear that the CTL have a large repertoire of allorecognition, even when generated across a mutant anti-Kb combination reflecting only a few amino acid differences. In addition, a diverse set of epitopes can be recognized on the Kb molecule. Finally, in some instances a change in what would appear to be a single amino acid resulted in a profound alteration of CTL recognition even though the Kb mutant molecule expressed limited serologic changes. These results support the idea that small changes in the H-2Kb molecule can have dramatic effects on CTL even though there are relatively little effects on serologic recognition of the target molecule.

Abstract
In preparation for functional analyses, a study of the binding of H-2Kb-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to formaldehyde (FOR)-fixed H-2b spleen or tumor cells revealed that three of nine mAb tested had lost reactivity with the FOR-fixed cells, whereas the reactivity of the other mAb generally did not diminish. Comparison of the reactivity of these mAb on untreated H-2Kbm mutant cells and on FOR-treated H-2Kb cells suggests that for three mAb the total loss of reactivity on the latter could be a consequence of the alteration by FOR of lysine 89, which is substituted by alanine in mutant bm3. H-2Kb-specific alloreactive polyclonal or monoclonal CTL, all of which had retained reactivity with bm3 target cells, had also retained reactivity with FOR-fixed H-2b cells as indicated by cold target inhibition studies. The H-2Kb-specific CTL were probably reactive with "conformational" determinants of H-2Kb, which are dependent on the integrity of both the alpha 1 and the alpha 2 domains of the H-2Kb molecule. Results are compatible with FOR treatment selectively affecting a serological determinant in the alpha 1 domain without affecting conformational-type CTL determinants.

Abstract
Schistosome-derived inhibitory factor (SDIF) previously shown to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation, markedly decreased the primary IgE response of rats immunized with dinitrophenylated ovalbumin (DNP-OVA) when injected either simultaneously or shortly after antigen administration. No effect however was observed when SDIF was injected before the immunization. An inhibition of non-IgE anti-DNP antibodies was also found in SDIF-treated rats although the decrease was lower than with IgE antibody. IgE responses of both low and high IgE responder rats were reduced but a lower dose of SDIF was required in the case of high IgE responder Brown Norway rats. When SDIF was only given at the time of priming, the secondary IgE response was no longer modified. However, the administration of SDIF together with the second injection of the antigen induced marked decrease in the secondary IgE response. The effects of SDIF on primary and secondary IgE responses could be attributed to the inhibitory activity of the parasite-derived factor on lymphocyte proliferation. The observed inhibition of secondary IgE antibody responses confers to SDIF a pharmacological interest in allergic diseases.

Abstract
Antecerebral ends from donors of one Lineus species (L. sanguineus) were grafted onto bispecific recipients previously constructed from two other Lineus species (denoted L. ruber----L. lacteus because the anterior component of chimeras was from L. ruber and the posterior component was from L. lacteus) and onto monospecific controls. Histological examination of areas where the tissues from L. sanguineus and L. ruber had been brought into contact by grafting always showed, at early stages, (6 to 20 days postgrafting), a great deal of difference depending upon whether the recipients were monospecific L. ruber or bispecific L. ruber----L. lacteus: only in grafts onto the former was there lysis of gland cells, connective tissue, muscular fibers, and finally epidermis. We attribute this lytic process to a strongly and rapidly cytotoxic action of lymphocyte-like cells from the L. ruber intestinal segment and the absence of lysis during the same stage in grafts onto composite recipients and monospecific L. lacteus to weak, delayed actions of immunocytes from the L. lacteus intestinal segment. Subsequent phagocytosis of material from lysed cell of grafts in the process of being rejected was effected by wandering amebocytes usually involved in destruction of degenerating "self" components, as in oosorption and resorptive processes after fasting. This work supports the existence of immunocytes at an early phylogenetic level.

Abstract
The rejection of xenogeneic grafts in marine worms of the genus Lineus (Nemertea) gives evidence for the occurrence of immune mechanisms in these invertebrates. First, second-set response is anamnestic with a three-month memory component. Second, the accelerated rejection of second-set grafts occurs anywhere in the body of the recipient, that is to say it is systemic. Third, the anamnestic response is species-specific since it takes place only when second grafts are from donors of the same species as that of the first set. It is therefore plausible that the reaction to xenogeneic grafts is a cell-mediated immune mechanism and that the self-nonself discrimination may be a function of nemertean cells specialized for recognition at the species level and for memory.

Abstract
Performed upon bispecific Lineus chimaeras of a suitable constitution, the grafting of tissues excised from nemerteans of a third Lineus species resulted in a confrontation between graft cells, fixed cells from one chimaera component and mobile cells which originate from the second chimaera component. Survival of such grafts was dependent only upon compatibility in the "graft cells/mobile cells of recipient" interspecific combination. This result shows evidence for the existence of circulating immunocompetent cells which are responsible for the specific immune response to tissue transplantation in nemerteans of the genus Lineus.
