Abstract
Normally there is autoreactivity between subpopulations of human lymphocytes. T lymphocytes respond to autologous non-T lymphocytes in co-culture by proliferation. Data is provided to demonstrate that alloantigen primed peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from individuals of certain HLA types respond to autologous PBL in the primed lymphocyte test (PLT). This autoreactivity in PLT was associated with HLA-B8/DR3 alloantigens.
