A new mitogenic system for in vitro immunoglobulin production induced by tetanus toxoid is presented and the role of T4 and T8 subsets in tetanus toxoid-induced in vitro immunoglobulin production is investigated. Purified T, T4, T8, and B cells from normal individuals previously immunized but not boosted with tetanus toxoid were cultured in helper and suppressor assays and the number of immunoglobulin-secreting cells were enumerated after culture using a hemolytic plaque assay. The regulatory roles of T4 and T8 cells in this tetanus toxoid system were compared with the role of these subsets after pokeweed mitogen stimulation. Although most of the immunoglobulin produced in the tetanus toxoid system was polyclonal, there were differences in the time course, the magnitude of the responses, the radiosensitivity of the subsets, and optimal T- to B-cell ratios for immunoglobulin production which distinguish the tetanus toxoid and pokeweed mitogen systems.
