Abstract
Antigens or lectins induce the production of a growth factor for T cells (IL-2) and T cell responsiveness to this growth factor. At least one of these steps is dependent on special stimulatory cells (S+ cells). T cell proliferation can be maintained in long-term cultures. T cell effector functions such as cytolitic activity, help for B cells, or the production of various lymphokines and the requirements for their induction are poorly understood.
