Unprimed (CBA .times. C57BL/6)F1 lymph node T [thymus derived] cells were transferred with sheep erythrocytes (SRC) into heavily irradiated F1 or parental strain mice and recovered from thoracic duct lymph or spleens of the recipients 5 days later. To study their helper function, the harvested F1 T cells were transferred with antigen into irradiated F1 mice plus B [bone marrow derived] cells from either the 2 parental strains or from F1 mice. F1 T cells activated in F1 mice gave high Ig[immunoglobulin]M and IgG anti-SRC responses with all 3 populations of B cells. F1 T cells activated in mice of 1 parental strain collaborated well with B cells of this strain, but poorly with B cells of the opposite strain. Active suppression was considered an unlikely explanation for this result since good responses were found with F1 B cells, and additional experiments showed that the poor response with B cells of the opposite parental strain (which was equivalent to that produced by unprimed F1 T cells) could be converted to a high response by a supplemental injection of F1 T cells activated in F1 mice. The phenomenon was specific for the antigen used for activation (criss-cross experiments were performed with horse erythrocytes); was reflected in levels of serum hemagglutinins and in numbers of splenic plaque-forming cells; applied also to comparable activation of (DBA/2 .times. C57BL/6)F1 T cells; and could be prevented by activating F1 T cells in mice of 1 parental strain in the presence of peritoneal exudate cells of the opposite parental strain. The hypothesis was advanced that F1 T cells contain 2 discrete subpopulations of antigen-reactive cells, each subject to restrictions acting at 2 different levels: during T-macrophage interactions and during T-B collaboration. When F1 T cells are activated to antigen in a parental strain environment, radioresistant macrophages activate only 1 of the 2 subgroups of T cells. This subgroup is able to collaborate with B cells of the strain used for activation(and with F1 B cells) but not with B cells of the opposite parental strain. The other subgroup of T cells remains in an unprimed (nonactivated) state.
