Dendritic cells (DC) have been reported to be the most potent antigen‐presenting cells (APC) for the activation of naive T cells and to be 10–100‐fold more potent APC than monocytes (Mφ) in the mixed lymphocyte reaction. In this study the authors compared human blood DC with Mφ and B cells for their ability to activate cloned rye grass allergenLol pI specific CD4+Th1and Th2cells. In the presence ofLol pI, all three types of APC activated Th1and Th2cells to a similar extent, as shown by T‐cell proliferation and interferon‐γ, interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) or IL‐4 secretion. However, at low APC : T cell ratios, Mφ were the most potent APC for both Th1and Th2cells followed in decreasing order by DC and B cells. This hierarchy was observed with APC preparations isolated by negative selection or highly purified by positive selection using fluorescent cell sorting for HLA‐DRhigh‐DC, CD14pos‐Mφ and CD19pos‐B cells. The data demonstrate that, in contrast to what has been reported for naive T cells, human blood DC activate cloned memory Th1and Th2cells to a similar extent as Mφ and B cells presumably because the requirements for activation of memory type T cells are less stringent than those for naive T cells.
