Activation of mouse peritoneal cells to kill Listeria monocytogenes by T-lymphocyte products.

ABSTRACT

An in vitro system has been used to demonstrate that glass-adherent mouse peritoneal cells can be activated to kill intracellular Listeria monocytogenes by antigen-stimulated T-lymphocytes derived from immunized mice. The soluble products of such stimulated lymphocyte cultures could only be shown to similarly activate peritoneal cells if the antigen used in both the immunization and lymphocyte stimulation was also present on the target intracellular organism.
