Ontogeny of priming of cytotoxic T cells to minor alloantigens: the development of direct priming precedes that of cross-priming*
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes of heterozygous adult mice primed in vivo with minor alloantigens on cells of one parental H-2 genotype can be boosted in vitro to respond to minor alloantigens on cells of both the immunizing parental H-2 genotype (direct priming) and of the H-2 genotype of the other parent (cross-priming). We studied the ontogeny of this phenomenon and show that during early postnatal life the development of direct priming precedes that of cross-priming. The delayed maturation of cross-primed responses parallels the known development time sequence of functional antigen-presenting cells and provides evidence for the explanation of cross-priming in terms of antigen processing.

## Abstract The present study investigates the role of non‐H‐2 genes in controlling generation of the H‐2‐restricted, T cell‐mediated cytotoxic response against trinitrophenyl (TNP)‐modified syngeneic cells (TNP‐self). Spleen cells from C3H/He (H‐2^k^) or B10.BR (H‐2^k^) normal mice or from mice pr
An autoimmune response to herniated nucleus pulposus has been proposed to constitute a pathophysiologic mechanism for inducing sciatica based on the fact that nucleus pulposus under normal conditions is excluded from the development of immunological tolerance. The manifestation of an autoimmune resp
