Abstract

Experimental data on thymidine incorporation by T cells as a function of the number of B cells and of the amount of antigen present on B cells are analysed.The data imply that T cells expand only after B cells deliver two signals. One signal is proportional to the antigen present on the surface of B cells and is immunologically specific; the other signal is independent of the antigen present on B cells and therefore is not immunologically specific.
