Abstract

Certain dosage schedules of a monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibody (related to a murine bladder carcinoma) were found to induce suppressor factor production by syngeneic mice. This suppressor factor resembled the factor from tumour-bearing mice with respect to idiotype specificity, possession of molecular markers (reactive with anti-IJ and B16G antibodies) and production by Lyt2+IJ+ T cells in spleen cell cultures. The two factors differed with respect to Igh restriction in an in vitro assay (leucocyte adherence inhibition) and ability to suppress the induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity to tumour antigen.
