Dialyzable factor (DF) prepared from a ribosomal fraction of Salmonella typhimurium was tested for its ability to induce interleukin 1 (IL 1) and 2 (IL 2) production, in relation to acquired resistance, after an intraperitoneal injection of DF. IL 1 production in vitro by peritoneal macrophages of DF-treated mice reached the maximum 4 days after injection, at the time when the nonspecific local resistance via macrophages directly activated with DF became apparent (Kita et al, Microbiol. Immunol. 28: 807, 1984). Concanavalin A-induced IL 2 production by splenocytes of DF-treated mice reached the maximal level between days 6 and 8, and it could be enhanced even on day 14. Antigen-induced blastogenic responses of splenocytes from DF-treated mice reached the maximal level 14 days after treatment. Although DF did not show the mitogenic activity to normal splenocytes, T cells of DF-treated mice could respond to S. typhimurium. On the contrary, T cells of normal mice could respond to heat-killed cells of S. typhimurium when they were cultured with macrophages which had been directly stimulated in vitro with DF. Furthermore, T cells from DF-treated mice could respond to antigens of different species of bacteria, and especially to Listeria monocytogenes. These results suggest that T cells of DF-treated mice, being at the intermediate stage of activation via monokines including IL 1 which is produced by macrophages stimulated with DF, are able to proliferate immediately after the administration of challenging organisms as a second signal, and also that the specificity of the response may be defined by the challenging organisms.
