  • (16) The role of stimulated T cells in the induction of B mitoses was shown by (a) the incapacity of T-depleted spleen cells to be stimulated by PHA or in primary or secondary MLC, and (b) the restoration of the mitotic response of B cells to PHA by adding to the T cell-depleted culture either a very small number of T cell (identified by their different karyotype: "in vitro chimeras") or the cell-free supernatant of a 24 hr MLC.
  • (17) In contrast, chimeras made by reconstituting irradiated A mice with adult spleen cells of (A X B)F1 origin generate virus-specific cytotoxic activity for infected A and B targets, suggesting that mature T cells do not change their self-specificity readily.
