摘要:: Nonspecific suppressor cells were induced during in vitro culture of normal mouse spleen cells (SPC) using the Marbrook culture system. The suppressor cells inhibited both the primary and secondary antibody-formation responses antigen nonspecifically in vitro, and both IgM- and IgG-responses were inhibited. The supernatants from suppressive precultured cells were not suppressive. The suppressor cells also inhibited the response of allogeneic SPC beyond H-2 compatibility. The induction of the suppressor cells did not require the presence of antigen but required fetal calf serum (FCS) or both FCS and 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME). The suppressor cells were generated from the nylon-wool adherent, radiation-sensitive T cell population. On the other hand, the suppressor cells were nylon-wool nonadherent, relatively radiation-sensitive T cells. Actively antibody-producing cells were not affected by the suppressor cells. The suppressor cells inhibited the mitogenic responses of normal SPC to phytohemagglutinin-P (PHA), bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and concanavalin A (Con A). The suppressor cells themselves inhibited the growth of EL4 cells (T-cell leukemia of C57BL/6 mouse origin) and MOPCll cells (B cells, plasmacytoma of BALB/c mouse origin) even at a low effector-to target cell ratio (E:T ratio = 1:1), but did not kill these tumor cells. These results indicate that the target cells of the suppressor cells are both T and B cells, and that the mechanism of action of the suppression is either inhibition of proliferation or inhibition of early events in the course of the immune response.
