Mouse splenic macrophages (M phi) were tested for their ability to potentiate in vitro allogeneic mixed lymphocyte response (MLR) of highly purified syngeneic responder T cells against allogeneic M phi. It was shown that even extremely low numbers of M phi syngeneic to the responder T cells were able to induce significantly stronger MLR. This potentiating effect was demonstrated to be expressed via the self-Ia antigens present on the surface of syngeneic M phi. The functional involvement of self-Ia antigens was substantiated by two approaches: (a) by using monoclonal antibodies specific for I-region determinants of the responder haplotype M phi and (b) by setting up MLR cultures with stimulator M phi of (responder X stimulator) F1 origin which express both self- and allo-Ia antigens. The results obtained in this study demonstrate that the presentation of self-Ia antigens, in conjunction with the recognition of allo-major histocompatibility complex antigens, are required for in vitro primary MLR.
