Rabbit WBC and spleen cells respond with marked blastogenesis and mitosis when cultured with mitomycin-C treated autologous sacculus rotundus, appendix and Peyer's patches cells in the one-way rabbit mixed leucocyte reaction (MLR). A lesser response is observed using stimulating cells of the other lymphoid organs. The blastogenic response in the one-way 'autologous MLR' cannot be attributed to mitogenic factors released from the mitomycin-C treated stimulator cells since it is also observed in the 'two-way autologous MLR', using untreated stimulator cells. Several explanations are proposed to account for the 'autologous MLR'.
