AbstractSeveral cloned T cell lines were isolated from primed mixed lymphocyte cultures immunized against minor histocompatibility antigens. These lines were selected with irradiated stimulator cells as antigen and require restimulation at intervals to keep growing. They are responsive, as measured by proliferation, to interleukin 2 (T cell growth factor) but cannot be grown in it continuously.These T cell lines have either the H‐2dor H‐2khaplotype. They all show exquisite H‐2 restriction and minor histocompatibility antigen specificity. We did not observe any alloreactivity on 8 different H‐2 haplotypes. For the H‐2kT cell lines, the restriction element could be mapped to either the K or D end of the H‐2 complex. No I‐A‐restricted cell line was found.It is of interest that all these T cell lines need the presence of T cells in the irradiated stimulator cell population. This suggests a more complex interaction between irradiated stimulators and responder T cells than just H‐2K‐ or D‐restricted antigen interaction. This recognition, though necessary, does not seem sufficient to induce the T cell
