Abstract excerpt
By the use of mixed leukocyte cultures it was shown that a population of allogeneically activated rat T cells synthesize and express class II MHC antigens, in confirmation of other studies. Compatible with the finding that the MHC molecules detected on these cells were of T cell origin rather tha...
