title: Adherent cell function in murine T lymphocyte antigen recognition. III. A macrophage-mediated immune response gene function in the mouse.
abstract: The I region of the MHC appears to control antigen-specific macrophage-T lymphocyte interaction. The immune response to antigens such as Gl phi 9 are under control of two distinct I subregions, I-A and I-E/I-C. We have asked in a macrophage-dependent, antigen-specific murine T cell proliferation assay whether either or both gene products need be expressed in the antigen-presenting cells. We find that both Ir-Gl phi 9 alpha and beta genes must be expressed and function in the antigen-presenting cell.
