title: T cell clones and hybridomas as probes for the analysis of the syngeneic mixed leukocyte reaction.
abstract: We have prepared short term T cell lines, long term T cell lines from soft agar colonies, and SMLR specific T cell hybridomas. Analysis of these populations has shown that the SMLR responsive T cell population is not specific for a foreign serum component, but rather represents a T cell population which can be polyclonally activated by self-Ia antigens. It is likely that some antigen specific cells are found within this autoreactive subpopulation.
