primed lymphocyte typing

primed lymphocyte typing
(PLT) a technique used for typing of Class II HLA antigens: unknown cells are exposed to a panel of lymphocytes primed against specific HLA antigens by prior coculture with stimulator cells that matched the primed cells at all but one HLA locus; when restimulated by the same HLA antigen the primed cells give a secondary proliferative response, which shows that the unknown cells bear the same antigen as the stimulator cells.
