Secondary induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes with solubilized syngeneic tumor cell plasma membranes
O Alaba and LW Law
Secondary induction of in vitro cytotoxic T lymphocytes in a syngeneic
system has been achieved with plasma membrane, both in the particulate and
solubilized forms. Both the induction and the lytic phases were shown to be
immunologically specific. The effector cells generated were completely
susceptible to treatment with anti-theta antibody and complement,
suggesting that they are T lymphocytes.
