Lymphocyte proliferation in vitro may follow antigen recognition and serve as a correlate of cell-mediated immunity. Lymphocyte proliferation can also be simulated by nonimmune mechanisms as, for example, following culture with plant lectin, lipopolysaccharides, or staphylococcal protein A (1). The autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) refers to the proliferation of T lymphocytes cultured with autologous mon-T lymphocytes (2,3). The purpose of this study was to determine whether lymphocyte proliferation in the autologous MLR results from immune or nonimmune mechanisms. We have shown that the autologous MLR has two classical attributes of an immune phenomenon: memory and specificity.
体外淋巴细胞增殖可能继发于抗原识别,并可作为细胞介导免疫的一个相关指标。淋巴细胞增殖也可通过非免疫机制模拟,例如,在用植物凝集素、脂多糖或葡萄球菌蛋白A培养后(1)。自体混合淋巴细胞反应(MLR)指的是与自体单核T淋巴细胞一起培养的T淋巴细胞的增殖(2,3)。本研究的目的是确定自体MLR中的淋巴细胞增殖是由免疫机制还是非免疫机制引起的。我们已经表明,自体MLR具有免疫现象的两个经典特征:记忆性和特异性。
