title: In vitro enhancement of the proliferative response of human T cells to autologous non-T cells by hydralazine.
abstract: While high doses of hydralazine inhibit the proliferative response of T lymphocytes to mitogens and antigens, low doses (0.15 microgram/ml) selectively enhance the proliferative response of T cells to autologous non-T cells. The effect is especially pronounced on lymphocytes which express the HLA-DR4 allospecificity. These results suggest that the autologous mixed lymphocyte response with non-T cells may represent a useful in vitro model to analyse the mechanism(s) of the immunologic abnormalities induced by hydralazine.
