[Kinetic differences in induction of the killers and producers of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in primary and secondary mixed murine leukocyte culture test].

Conditions are selected for the killer induction during primary and secondary responses in the one-way MLC, stimulated by x-irradiated or killed allogenic lymphocytes. MIF is found in the MLC culture medium as a sharp peak on the 2nd or the 3rd day of the primary reaction, or as a plato from the 1st day of the secondary reaction. In contrast, the killers are shown to be induced much later reaching their maximum on the 5th and the 4th days, respectively. If heated, instead of irradiated, allogenic lymphocytes were used for stimulation of the primary MLC reaction, the MIF-producer kinetics was not changed, but the killer induction was found to be delayed.
