Abstract
Long-term cultures of murine homogeneous populations of Ia-bearing thymus-derived murine macrophages were tested for their ability to present antigen to a (T,G)-A-L specific IL-2-dependent continuous T cell line. Thymus-derived macrophages, with and without pretreatment for Ia induction, triggered efficiently antigen-specific T cell proliferation in an MHC restricted way. This experimental system, consisting of two normal proliferating homogeneous populations of macrophages and antigen specific T cells, provides an ideal tool for studying the mechanism of antigen presentation to T cells and for elucidation of the role of macrophages in T-B cell collaboration for antibody production.
