Mixed cell cultures of syngeneic lymph node (LN), spleen, or thymus and gamma-irradiated, syngeneic lymphoma cells of transplantable reticulum cell sarcomas (gamma-RCS) produced within 24 hours high titers of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and immune interferon in their supernatant (SN). These lymphokine titers were much higher than those seen after stimulation with allogeneic cells. SN also had marked enhancing activity for antibody production by anti-T-cell serum plus complement-treated spleen cells to trinitrophenylated polyacrylamide in vitro. This activity could be removed by absorption with cells of an IL-2-dependent cytotoxic cell line. Mixtures of gamma-RCS and LN cells from SJL/J F1 hybrid mice produced these lymphokines only when the non-SJL parent contributed H-2s or H-2b, but not H-2k or H-2d, in the I-region. These I-region restrictions were similar to those observed previously with respect to the ability of T-cells from SJL F1 hybrids to give proliferative responses to gamma-RCS in vitro and of these mice to support tumor growth in vivo. gamma-RCS also induced rapid interferon production in vivo, but serum titers 24 hours after injection consisted primarily of interferon resistant to pH 2 and neutralized by antibody to virally induced interferon (IFN-alpha/beta), and the production of IFN-alpha/beta was not subject to the same genetic restrictions. Although reticulum cell sarcoma cell extracts had no detectable effect in vitro, they were capable of inducing transient IFN production in vivo.
