title: A tumor T cell line which can be specifically activated by antigen.
abstract: We have shown that permanently transformed T cells of a leukemic line (485-2) maintain their immunocompetent function and can be specifically activated by antigen. This cell line should facilitate investigations into the biochemical mechanisms of T cell activation and may help elucidate the nature of the T cell receptor.
