Interleukin 2 induction in Lyt 1+ 23- T cells from Listeria monocytogenes-immune mice.
Peritoneal exudate T lymphocytes from mice experimentally infected with the intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes secreted high interleukin 2 activities after interaction with syngeneic normal macrophage presenting listerial antigen in vitro. L. monocytogenes-immune cells secreting IL 2 were radioresistant and bore the phenotype Thy 1(+) Lyt 1(+)23(-).
