title: [Development of delayed hypersensitivity to sheep erythrocytes after separate and combined administration of the antigen and cyclophosphamide].
abstract: The ability to the development of delayed hypersensitivity (DHS) to the appropriate antigen was studied in mice treated with large doses of SRBC and cyclophosphamide at varying time prior to the experiment. Suppression of DHS development induced by administering either the cytostatic alone or a large dose of the antigen was examined at the same periods of time. The combined treatment was shown to induce tolerance according to diverse tests for DHS (skin and macrophage migration inhibition tests). At the basis of this tolerance lies genuine deficiency of the appropriate clone of T cells. Administration of cyclophosphamide alone leads to a slight suppression of DHS, while a large dose of the antigen induces a different form of areactivity due to the suppressor cells whose nature is not yet clear.
