Abstract excerpt
The generation of interleukin-2 (IL-2)-mediated helper activity is a central step in the immune response induced by allogeneic histocompatibility antigens, and IL-2-producing helper T-lymphocyte precursor (HTLp) frequencies have been proposed as a measure of alloreactivity in transplant recipients. We analyzed the influence of HLA-matching on the alloresponse of HTLp in limiting dilution assays derived from...
