Abstract
A functional assay is described that measures the reversal of specific cytolytic T cell (CTL)βtarget cell binding. Binding of ^51^Crβlabeled P815 cells was stable in suspension but could be readily reversed by the addition of unlabeled P815 cells. The reversal of CTLβtumor cell and CTLβspleen cell binding was Hβ2 specific; only cells of the same Hβ2 type as the bound target cell could induce reversal. In all cases, tumor cells were substantially more efficient than spleen cells in inducing specific reversal.
