Abstract
We compared induction of sensitization in the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and in a mouse antiโfibroblast reaction. Our study demonstrated that induction processes in these two reactions, both known to be T cellโmediated reactions, are governed by different factors. Moreover, these two reactions interact with each other and this interaction is manifested by the ability of a MLR occurring during the sensitization phase of the antiโfibroblast reaction to enhance specific cytolysis measured during the effector phase. This helper effect appears to be immunologically nonspecific, since it can be obtained by the use of third party, antigenically unrelated lymphocytes as stimulator cells in the MLR.
