Abstract

The injection of 6x109 sheep red blood cells to mice suppresses delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) in situ and activates spleen cells which prevent sensitization of recipients. Preliminary thymectomy of donors and the treatment of cell suspensions with anti-T-globulin abolish suppression of DTH. Pretreatment of mice with low doses of cyclophosphamide (CY) enhances antibody formation and DTH. Higher doses of CY increase the DTH reaction but inhibit antibody formation. The data obtained allow to conclude that suppression of DTH is due to the activity of short-living, intensively proliferating cells of thymic origin and possibly to B cells.
