Lymphoblastogenesis stimulates proliferation of interacting Lyt1 T cells in a syngeneic system
The intravenous transfer of polyclonally activated lymphoblasts elicited a proliferative response of host-derived Lyt1 T cells in the spleens of syngeneic recipient mice. These Lyt1 T cells (responding in vivo to a syngeneic lymphoblast graft) stimulated proliferation of resting, syngeneic splenic Lyt1 T cells, derived from uninjected mice, in a one-way syngeneic mixed lymphocyte culture in vitro. The data are discussed in the context of T cell activation induced by lymphoblastogenesis in a syngeneic system.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Primary Lymphoid Organs
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...
Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...

B Cell Activation and Differentiation
When naive B cells encounter a specific antigen that can bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) on their surface, they undergo sensitization to respond to the antigen's presence. Sensitization begins with...
