The nature of infected stimulator cells in the in vitro secondary cytotoxic T cell response to ectromelia infection was investigated. It was found that macrophages were better stimulator cells than spleen cells. B cells (Ig-positive cells) were superior to T cells (Ig-negative cells) both on a relative proportion and on a cell-to-cell basis. Concanavalin A and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated lymphocytes were also effective stimulator cells but appeared to be slightly inferior to spleen cells. Spleen cells depleted of Ia-positive cells were markedly inferior to normal spleen cells as stimulators. It was also found that primary and secondary cytotoxic T cells were largely Ia-negative. These findings are discussed in relation to the likely events during T cell responses to infection in vivo.
