Culture supernatant from a monoclonal T cell lymphoma line (LH8-105) obtained by radiation leukemia virus-induced transformation of hen egg-white lysozyme (HEL)-specific suppressor T lymphocytes is able, when injected into mice, to specifically suppress the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction induced by HEL. The suppressor T cell factor (TsF) exhibits fine antigenic specificity since it suppresses the DTH response induced by HEL without affecting the DTH response induced by ring-necked pheasant egg-white lysozyme (REL), a lysozyme closely related to HEL. Conversely, LH8-105 TsF is able to suppress the DTH response induced by human lysozyme, distantly related to HEL but sharing a common epitope critical for induction of suppressive activity. The fine antigenic specificity of LH8-105 TsF for a restricted epitope on the HEL molecule is confirmed by binding to HEL but not to REL immunosorbents. This TsF also bears I-J determinants, as demonstrated by binding to monoclonal anti-I-J immunosorbents, and it suppresses the afferent but not the efferent phase of the DTH response to HEL. The afferent suppression is controlled by genes apparently mapping in the I-J subregion of the H-2 complex since I-J-incompatible mice are not suppressed by LH8-105 TsF injection. This inducer-type TsF induces second-order effector suppressor T cells only in HEL-primed mice indicating the primary role of antigen, in association with H-2 (I-J) products, in the afferent portion of this suppressive circuit.

D006968 Hypersensitivity, Delayed An increased reactivity to specific antigens mediated not by antibodies but by sensitized T CELLS. Hypersensitivity, Tuberculin-Type,Hypersensitivity, Type IV,Tuberculin-Type Hypersensitivity,Type IV Hypersensitivity,Delayed Hypersensitivity,Delayed Hypersensitivities,Hypersensitivity, Tuberculin Type,Tuberculin Type Hypersensitivity,Tuberculin-Type Hypersensitivities,Type IV Hypersensitivities
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune

D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013491 Suppressor Factors, Immunologic Proteins, protein complexes, or glycoproteins secreted by suppressor T-cells that inhibit either subsequent T-cells, B-cells, or other immunologic phenomena. Some of these factors have both histocompatibility (I-J) and antigen-specific domains which may be linked by disulfide bridges. They can be elicited by haptens or other antigens and may be mass-produced by hybridomas or monoclones in the laboratory.

D050378 T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory CD4-positive T cells that inhibit immunopathology or autoimmune disease in vivo. They inhibit the immune response by influencing the activity of other cell types. Regulatory T-cells include naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ cells, IL-10 secreting Tr1 cells, and Th3 cells.
