Harvard Medical School, Boston, ~A Cytotoxlc T cell lines (95% E-RFC) with a11ogene~c s p e c l f l c l t y w e r e qenerated from secondary stimulated responder c e l l s (18 combinations, 8 lndividLals) i n l n t e r l e u k i n 2 and tested a f t e r 2°3 months of continuous culture. CTLs were tested against PHA blasts from HLA panel o f 10 individuals formx~n~r~ HLA (A,B,C and DR) differences. The data s~owed differences of cytotoxtc a c t t v l t y ( l y r i c a c t w 1 t y expressed in LU/IO • ce11~) between 3,746 to 14,000 units against the prlm|ng c e l l s and between I to 2040 of other tarqet c e l l s . Fourteen of the CTL combinations-tested gave higher lyClc values (746-14,000 units) with priming c e l l s as targets against t h i r d party targets with phenotypes of p a r t i c u l a r HLA CREGs (1-2040 units). [n two combinations the s p e c i f i c i t y of the CTLs against the HLA antigens of the or~mlng c e l l s and CRE~ g~oups o f the nanel of tarqets was s i m i l a r (2750-7840 ~n~ts). In ano~er experiment, we tested the response to a co~on st~mulator showing a strong response against the target-prlmng c e i l s (2,273 to 4,820 units) but the respone varied fr0m very 10w (low res~nder) to moderate (h~gh responders}: Z to 19 and 171 to 303 The rema~nlng two co~b~natlons recognized a s p e c i f i c i t y not attributed to known HLA antigens (cytolyt~c units of l i t and 571). The checkerboard method to generate CTLs described can no, be used to study 1) the genetics of responders and non-responders against a110o detemlnants o f lymphoid c e l l s and 2) the genetics of non HLA antigens present on a lymphocyte T c e l l panel (PHA blasts) (Support.

Responder cells from a ;)w3 HTC were stimulated wtth cells from a Dwl,3 heterozygote tn primary ~.C fro" 4 days. Responding blast cells were removed and cloned by limiting dilution at 0.3 celTs per ~ell for 3 weeks in the presence of TCGF. Clones were tested agatnst a panel of 32 cells contatntnq Owl,3 and other spectf|cittes tn a d d t t i ~ to the 10 family members of the ortgtna] sttmulator(FLA~). Two clones, TLC 14-14 and 14o8K, gave postttve responses ~n all family cells expressing the %" haplotype and a Dw5 HTC (JPSU) but failed to respond to al1 other panel members including 7 Dwtposttive cells.
