✦ Synopsis
Abstract
T lymphocytes are stimulated to release T‐cell‐replacing factors in response to Fc fragments of human IgG. Lyt 1^+^23^−^ T cells are directly triggered to factor production by Fc subfragments, derived from intact Fc fragments by macrophage‐dependent enzymatic cleavage. These factor(s) replace T cell function in two Fc‐mediated immune responses; induction of polyclonal antibody synthesis, and potentiation of anti‐SRBC responses.

## Abstract This paper deals with the specificity of the receptor for immunoglobulins expressed on activated T cells (ATC) and its relation to immunoglobulin‐binding factor (IBF) produced __in vitro__ by ATC. By indirect immunofluorescence and rosette techniques, it is shown that Fc receptors are
