Abstract
The nature of suppressor cells contained in a suspension of splenic lymphocytes immunized with allogeneic spleen cells and inhibiting activation of DNA synthesis in mixed lymphocyte cultures was studied. The suppressor cells were resistant to mitomycin C and carrageenin, were not inactivated by treatment with rabbit anti-B- and anti-Ig or mouse antibodies (anti-Mls serum) against B-lymphocytes, in the presence of complement, but were eliminated by rabbit antilymphocytic globulin and also by antibodies against T-lymphocytes (rabbit ATG and anti-θ-serum). The T-suppressors studied were concentrated in the large lymphocyte fraction in a ficoll gradient. Blocking of activation of DNA synthesis by these cells has a well-marked nonspecific component.
