Growth factors contained in Con (concanavalin)A-conditioned media (CM) maintained exponential growth in [mouse] T [thymus-derived] cell blasts derived from mitogen stimulation of spleen cells with Con A, phytohemagglutinin, lentil lectin and pokeweed mitogen (PWM), and from mixed lymphocyte reactions to H-2 D or I-E and I-C-encoded determinants and from non-H-2 Mls locus-controlled reactions. Such growth factors were T cell blast-specific, inasmuch as they did not stimulate resting, small T or B [bone marrow-derived] lymphocytes nor B cell blasts generated by lipopolysaccharide or lipoprotein activation. The responsiveness of T cell blasts to CM appears to be the result of the availability on the cell surface of an acceptor site for growth factors which is not expressed in resting cells because T cell blasts, but not small spleen cells, absorb out the growth-promoting activity contained in CM. Lectins such as Con A and PWM interfered with the blast surface membrane in such a way that they inhibited the response to growth factors. There was no detectable allotypic isotypic restriction in the activity of Con A-CM on a variety of target T cell blasts.
