Abstract

Normal spleen cells cultured with TNP-modified syngeneic spleen cells fail to mount an anti-TNP PFC response to TNP-ficoll or TNP-red blood cells, but go on to generate cytotoxic T cells directed at hapten-modified H-2, These results suggest that hapten-modified spleen cells may differentially induce B-ceU tolerance and T- (Ly 2,3) cell immunity. The differential response to modified self by lymphocyte subpopulations is discussed.
