We have studied the in vivo induction of T helper (T H) cells that participate in the generation of cytotoxic T (T c) lymphocytes. Helper activity was measured by the ability of the cells to help resting thymic T c cell precursors develop into effector T c cells in vitro. Direct injection of allogeneic spleen cells into the footpads of mice led to the generation of alloantigen-specific helper cells in the draining popliteal lymph nodes within 4 to 6 days. Helper activity was mediated by nylon-wool-nonadherent Lyt-1+ T lymphocytes; some activity was associated with Lyt-1, 2+ cells. The genetic requirements for both the induction and restimulation of C3H anti-H-2 d T H cells were investigated using cells from H-2 k/H-2 d recombinant mice as in vivo immunogens and in vitro stimulators. Evidence is presented that shows in a direct assay that T H cells themselves are specific for I region-coded determinants. Thus, disparity at the left side of the H-2 complex (K to IE) but not at H-2K alone was necessary and sufficient to induce and reactivate T H cells. Proliferation in mixed lymphocyte culture was measured in combinations in which T H cells were not detectable, supporting the idea that proliferation cannot be strictly considered a measurement of helper cells.
