Abstract
THYMUS-DERIVED lymphocytes (T cells) have several functions1–3, and in some instances it appears that two sub-populations of T cells interact to amplify their response4,5. But recognition of the diverse functions and interactions of T cells has not been matched by the development of techniques for identifying and separating the different T-cell subpopulations involved. The ability to do so would greatly aid study of the many roles of T cells. We report here experiments with mice that show that antisera to different Ly alloantigens can identify functionally-distinct subpopulations of T cells.
