Abstract
Continuous in vitro or in vivo passage of a BALB/c leukemia has resulted in generation of 2 immunologically distinct sublines. The subline maintained by in vitro passage failed to stimulate an allogeneic response but was susceptible to lysis by alloreactive cytotoxic cells. Conversely, the subline maintained by in vivo passage induced an allogeneic response but was resistant to lysis by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) reactive to H-2d antigens. Resistance to lysis occurred despite expression of H-2d antigens in a form recognizable by differentiated alloreactive CTL, as determined by cold-target inhibition experiments. Moreover, resistance was immunologically specific, in that the subline was susceptible to immune lysis mediated through recognition of other determinants. The results imply that the display and/or orientation of antigen in the cell membrane of these sublines that is required for a lytic event is distinct from the antigen expression necessary for immunologic recognition.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
