Abstract
LYMPHOID cells sensitised against alloantigens can lyse in vitro target cells bearing these alloantigens1,2. In most of the experimental systems using in vivo sensitised cells, T cells (thymus-dependent lymphocytes) are both necessary3 and sufficient4,5 for induction of target cell lysis. This seems to apply also to in vitro sensitised cells6–9. Specific cytolysis can be described as a two stage process: first, the recognition of target cell antigens by specific receptors at the surface of the ‘killing’ cell10,11; and, second, lysis itself.
