摘要:Sensitized lymphocytes can transfer a state of delayed-type hypersensitivity to soluble protein antigens to naive mice only if donor and recipient share the I-A region of the H-2 gene complex. Identity at the K or D region is not essential. The restriction is unlikely to result from ineffective homing of the injected cells or from their early destruction. It is thought to reflect a requirement for an Ir-gene controlled mechanism which governs effective interaction between sensitized T lymphocytes and antigen presented on the surface of macrophages.
