## Abstract The basis of the adjuvant effect of IL‐1 on the clonal expansion of Ag‐specific CD4 T cells was measured __in vivo__ using the TCR transgenic T cell adoptive transfer method. Injection ofAg plus IL‐1 caused naive CD4 T cells to proliferate to a greater extent than did injection of Ag al
