Suppressor cells in the spleen of tumor-allosensitized mice. 1977

B F Argyris

C57BL/6 mice were sensitized i.p. with 20 X 10(6) P-815 mastocytoma cells. Spleen and lymph node cells from these tumor-allosensitized mice become hyporesponsive in mixed-lymphocyte culture. The hyporesponsiveness appears to be due to the presence of suppressor cells. These suppressor cells can be demonstrated by their ability to inhibit the mixed-lymphocyte culture reactivity of normal mouse spleen cells. Suppressor activity in the spleen of tumor-allosensitized mice remains long after cytotoxic activity disappears. The mixed-lymphocyte culture suppressor cells do not adhere to glass and are cortisone resistant, X-irradiation resistant, anti-immunoglobulin serum resistant, but are anti-theta (Thy 1.2) serum sensitive. Adsorption of tumor-allosensitized spleen on specific allogeneic monolayers removes cytotoxic but not suppressor cells. On the basis of the kinetic data, cortisone sensitivity, antisera sensitivity, and adsorption results, we conclude that the suppressor cell is a thymus-derived lymphocyte that is separate from the cytotoxic thymus-derived lymphocyte.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs. Antirejection Therapy,Immunosuppression,Immunosuppressive Therapy,Anti-Rejection Therapy,Therapy, Anti-Rejection,Therapy, Antirejection,Anti Rejection Therapy,Anti-Rejection Therapies,Antirejection Therapies,Immunosuppression Therapies,Immunosuppressions,Immunosuppressive Therapies,Therapies, Immunosuppression,Therapies, Immunosuppressive,Therapy, Immunosuppression,Therapy, Immunosuppressive
D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

D008815 Mice, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations, or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions.

D003348 Cortisone A naturally occurring glucocorticoid that has been used in replacement therapy for ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY and as an anti-inflammatory agent. Cortisone itself is inactive; it is converted in the liver to the active metabolite HYDROCORTISONE.
