Purified Ly1 cells induce other T-cell sets to exert potent feedback inhibitory activity and this
TT interaction has been shown to play an important role in regulating in vivo immune
responses. Approximately 2/3 of Ly1 cells also express the Qa1 surface phenotype (Ly1:
Qa1+ cells). The experiments reported here indicate that Ly1: Qal+ cells are responsible for
induction of feedback inhibition and that signals from both Ly1: Qal+ cells and Ly1: Qal-cells
are required for optimal formation of antibody by B cells.
