abstract：:Mice were primed with TNP-derivatized insulin, or TNP-Mycobacteria, and lymph node cells were challenged in vitro with haptenated and unhaptenated antigens. Using either priming antigen, T-cell proliferative responses could be obtained to TNP-insulin. In B10 (H-2b), mice, which are responders to beef insulin (BI), but...
