    Abstract:
    It was previously established that a fetal calf serum-induced C57BL/6 T cell line that induces T and B cell differentiation could be kept proliferating in vitro only if cultured in the presence of irradiated syngeneic spleen cells and FCS. The present experiments were performed in order to investigate a) whether this cell line was a pure T cell line, b) whether the cells in this cell line (called line 12) were homogeneous with regard to Lyt phenotype, c) whether its growth was H-2 restricted, and d) whether line 12 cells reacted with our anti-idiotype (5936) and anti-T cell receptor allotype/isotype (6036) antisera. The results showed that line 12 consisted of T cells of Lyt 1+, 2.3- and phenotype. Its growth and proliferation was restricted to Kb and/or IAb alloantigen, and this phenomenon was observed with isolated Lyt 1+, 2.3- T cells. Line 12 cells reacted with both 5936 and 6036 antisera, and the positive cells were of Lyt 1+, 2.3- phenotype. Thus, our data indicate that Lyt 1+, 2.3- line 12 T cells interact with FCS and Kb/IAb alloantigen via receptors, which may bear 5936 and 6036 antisera-defined determinants. However, because these antisera only react with a subpopulation of Lyt 1+, 2.3- cells, proof that the same T cell has both MHC specificity and B cell idiotypic determinants will require further experimentation. 5936 and 6036 antisera-reactive molecules could be isolated from the supernatants of line 12 cells. Such molecules had characteristics similar to the 50,000 m.w. form of receptor molecules isolated from B6 anti-CBA T cell supernatants: a single chain polypeptide carrying both 5936 and 6036 antisera-defined determinants.
