Separation of helper and suppressor T lymphocytes. III. Positive and negative effects of mixed lymphocyte reaction-activated T cells
J Immunol.

Abstract
Using a Ficoll velocity sedimentation gradient, we provide evidence to show that stimulatory and inhibitory activities induced in mixed lymphocyte culture belong to two distinct subpopulations of T cells. Slow- to medium-sedimenting, nonproliferating cells enhance the humoral response of normal cells to SRBC whereas fast-sedimenting cells inhibit that response. Cytotoxic lymphocytes are found in the same fractions as suppressor cells but appear to be differentiable from the latter in terms of maturation kinetics and specificity.
