It is possible to propagate antigen-specific murine T cells in vitro with resultant specific stepwise enrichment of antigen-induced proliferative cells. The proliferative responses of these T cells are antigen specific and dependent upon the presence of antigen-presenting cells (spleen cells) that share the I-A subregion with the proliferating T cell. Using techniques of soft-agar cloning, it has been possible to isolate clones of antigen-reactive T lymphocytes from such long-term cultures. Data suggesting that these were clones of antigen-reactive T cells were obtained by studying the recognition of antigen in association with antigen-presenting cells with a panel of such clones of antigen-reactive T cells. Proof of clonality was obtained by subcloning. Clones derived from F1-immune mice can be divided into the following 3 separate categories: one clone recognizes antigen in association with antigen-presenting determinants of parent A and the F1; the 2nd type recognizes antigen in association with antigen-presenting determinants of parent B and the F1; the 3rd type recognizes antigen only in association with antigen-presenting determinants of the F1 mouse. Genetic studies on the major histocompatibility complex requirements for antigen presentation to such F1-reactive T cell clones suggests that the hybrid antigen-presenting determinnant in this system results from transcomplementation of products of the I-A region of haplotypes a and b. The concept that there exist unique F1 hybrid determinants on (A/J .times. C57BL/6)F1 [mouse] cells was supported; these determinants can be utilized physiologically by hybrid mice in immunocompetent cellular interactions.
