Interleukin 1 (IL I), but not IL 2-induced thymocyte proliferation was augmented by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against the Ly 1 antigen. The anti-Ly 1 mAb could also co-stimulate thymocytes with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) alone, mimicking the effect of IL1. Moreover, overnight culture with PHA of thy
Clonal deletion represents an important mechanism for the establishment of tolerance, by the elimination of autoreactive T cells. Deletion is accomplished by programmed cell death, termed apoptosis, induced by mobilization of the T cell receptor (TCR) on both thymocytes and mature T cells. The mecha
## Abstract Partially purified interleukin 2 (IL‐2) promotes proliferation of mouse spleen T, but not B cells, and of peanut‐agglutinin‐negative (PNA^−^), and cortisone‐resistant “mature” thymocytes, but not of PNA^+^ “immature” thymocytes. Within the cortisone‐resistant thymocyte population, IL‐2‐
