Abstract
A Lyt-2+ lymphocyte is responsible for immune interferon (IFN gamma) production in mitogen-stimulated mouse spleen cell cultures. A Lyt-1+ helper cell is required for the induction of IFN gamma. Interleukin 2 (IL 2) can specifically replace the Lyt 1 cell requirement. IL 2 will also abrogate suppressor cell inhibition of IFN gamma production. IFN gamma production appears to be regulated by a dynamic interaction between helper cells (source of IL 2), suppressor cells (absorption of IL 2?) and IFN gammna-producer cells.Entities:
