Many recent studies have demonstrated that cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CL) activated to various antigens other than those of the H-2 complex, will lyse target cells only when H-2 compatibility exists between the CL and target cell. From these observations, it has been inferred that T lymphocytes might only be capable of responding to H-2 antigen or antigens that become associated with H-2 region gene products. Our results suggest that this is not the case, and that in some situations, cytotoxic T lymphocytes can specifically lyse target cells of different H-2 types. Two in vitro systems are described where primary induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes to oncofetal and plasmacytoma antigens results in CL capable of lysing suitable targets bearing these antigens, of either syngeneic or allogeneic derivation. Thus it is proposed that although interaction antigens involving H-2 components may preferentially activate T lymphocytes, this does not imply a restriction on the recognition potential of T lymphocytes.
