Human peripheral blood leucocytes, cultured for 4--6 days with the appropriate concentration of protein or synthetic polypeptide antigen, yield helper cells. These cells, after a further 24 hr incubation with the appropriate antigen release helper factors, which are of two types, antigen specific and non-specific; a similar situation to that described in the mouse. These factors are assayed by their effects on the plaque-forming cell response of mouse spleen cells cultures in vitro. The potential applications of this new assay for human T cell function are discussed.
人外周血白细胞在适当浓度的蛋白质或合成多肽抗原中培养4 - 6天,可产生辅助细胞。这些细胞在与适当抗原进一步孵育24小时后释放辅助因子,辅助因子有两种类型,即抗原特异性和非特异性;这与小鼠中描述的情况类似。这些因子通过其对体外培养的小鼠脾细胞空斑形成细胞反应的影响来测定。本文讨论了这种用于人类T细胞功能的新检测方法的潜在应用。
