title: Genetic control of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis in mice. II. Lymphocyte proliferative response to acetylcholine receptor is dependent on Lyt-1+23- cells.
abstract: The proliferative response of regional lymph node lymphocytes to Torpedo acetylcholine receptor (TAR) is under H-2 linked Ir gene control. In high responder B6 (H-2b) congenic mice, lymphocytes that proliferate in vitro in response to TAR are dependent on T cells of a subpopulation expressing the phenotype associated with helper functions, Lyt-1+23-.
