title: Activation of an interleukin-1-responsive T-cell lymphoma by fixed P388D1 macrophages and an antibody against the Ag:MHC T-cell receptor.
abstract: We have characterized the activation of the interleukin 1 (IL-1)-responsive T-cell lymphoma LBRM33-1A5-47 to interleukin 2 (IL-2) production by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and IL-1. The signal provided by soluble IL-1 could be replaced by fixed P388D1 cells and the signal provided by PHA by a monoclonal antibody directed against an allotypic determinant of the Ag/MHC T-cell receptor (KJ16-133). The signal provided by fixed P388D1 does not appear to be due to alloreactivity. Instead, it appears to be due to a membrane-bound IL-1. The implications of these observations are discussed.
