title: Antibody response in C3H mice injected with CBA lymphoid cells as detected by membrane immunofluorescent staining.
abstract: Lymphocytes from CBA mice are strongly responsive to cells from the H-2-identical strain C3H in vitro (MLC), whereas C3H lymphocytes are poorly reactive against CBA cells. Immunization of CBA mice with C3H lymphocytes did not yield any detectable specific antibodies. On the other hand, C3H mice immunized with CBA cells produced specific antibodies as detected by membrane immunofluorescence. Mice of the strains AKR and DBA/2 also possess this specific membrane alloantigen. We thus conclude that it is now possible to discriminate among lymphocytes of CBA and C3H origin.
