Differential cyclophosphamide sensitivity of precursor cells in allogeneic and H-2 restricted cytotoxic responses
M Hurme
Spleen cells from cyclophosphamide-treated mice responded in vitro to
allogeneic stimulator cells but not to TNP-coupled syngeneic spleen cells.
Similarly, cells from female mice, primed in vivo with syngeneic male
cells, could not respond in vitro to male spleen cell stimulation if the
mice were pretreated with cyclophosphamide. These results suggest that the
precursor cells for H-2-restricted cytotoxic responses belong to a
different T-cell subpopulation than the precursor cells for allogeneic
responses.
