CELL-TO-CELL INTERACTION IN THE IMMUNE RESPONSE : VIII. RADIOSENSITIVITY OF THYMUS-DERIVED LYMPHOCYTES

The helper function of carrier-primed T cells was found to be radiosensitive in vivo. The results could not be attributed to interference with the spleen-seeking properties of the irradiated cells. It is suggested that T cell division is essential for the induction of 7S antibody responses in vivo.
