title: The use of interleukin 1+ and interleukin 1- cell lines to dissociate signals involved in the induction of cytolytic T cells.
abstract: The availability of paired homogeneous Ia+ tumour cell lines (P388AD, interleukin (IL)-1+, and P388NA, IL-1-), which differ in inducibility for IL-1, provided a unique opportunity to assess directly the role of Ia and IL-1 in the induction of cytolytic T cells (CTL) to trinitrophenol (TNP)-modified self. TNP-P388AD but not TNP-P388NA consistently induced H-2-restricted, hapten-specific CTL. However, in the presence of an exogenous source of IL-1, TNP-P388NA was able to induce CTL of the magnitude seen with TNP-P388AD. Both Ia expression and IL-1 secretion were necessary in that when TNP-modified purified T cells were utilized as stimulators, CTL activity was not demonstrated even if IL-1 was added, but was only seen when unmodified, P388AD, or spleen cells were added to the cultures.
