Abstract

Irradiation bone marrow chimeras were made by lethally irradiating parental (P) mice and reconstituting them with T cell-depleted bone marrow cells from F1 hybrid offsprings. These F1 → P chimeric lymphocytes were then analyzed for suppressor mechanisms that could cause the differentiation of effector T cells whose responsiveness was restricted in specificity to the host parent's H-2 haplotype. No evidence was detected for acute or chronic suppression of the second parent's restriction specificity in the following tests of cytotoxic T cell activity against virus-infected targets: 1) Mixing normal F1 spleen cells with various amounts of chimeric spleen and lymph node cells during the cytotoxicity test or, during sensitization in F1 mice tested 5 days after irradiation and infection, revealed no suppression of the activity for the second parental type target cells. 2) Chimeric F1 → P1 lymphocytes did not suppress alloreactivity directed against the second parental H-2 type. 3) Presence or absence of T cells in the transferred, reconstituting F1 bone marrow cells did not change the hosts' influence on the selection of restriction specificity. 4) F1 → P chimeric lymphocytes transferred to 500 R irradiated normal F1 mice did not suppress reactivity for the second parental type targets. 5) F1 → P chimeric lymphocytes or bone marrow cells transferred to lethally irradiated F1 could still differentiate to express the second parental restriction specificity; similarly, when F1 → P lymphocytes were mixed with normal but anti-ϑ plus complement-treated F1 bone marrow cells and transferred to lethally irradiated F1, both restriction specificities were generated.

Therefore, F1 → P irradiation bone marrow chimeras as described and tested here do not contain mechanisms that suppress the restriction specificity of the second parent, which is not a host to the maturing F1 T cells, at least at the effector stage or during differentiation.
