The cellular origin of reticulum cell sarcoma (RCS) in SJL/J mice was studied by comparing the incidence of spontaneous RCS in control mice and in mice suppressed with goat anti-mu Ig from birth on. At 10 months of age anti-mu suppressed mice had 0% RCS as opposed to 60% in control mice. Growth of two i.v. injected transplantable RCS lines in anti-mu suppressed mice was approximately 60% as compared with growth in normal SJL/J mice. Proliferative responses of thymus and lymph node cells from anti-mu suppressed mice to RCS, mitomycin-treated syngeneic spleen cells (M. Spl.) Con A, and PHA were entirely normal. However, M. Spl. from anti-mu suppressed mice caused minimal or no stimulation of T cells from normal or anti-mu suppressed responders. The results suggest that the normal syngeneic stimulator cell is of B cell origin, either representing a direct precursor of RCS or indirectly influencing RCS appearance. A B cell origin of RCS is, furthermore, in agreement with some of its characteristics, such as surface markers (Ia antigens, Ly b) and in vivo localization properties.
