title: [Characteristics of Con A induced cells and their inhibitory activities in patients with lymphoma].
abstract: Using five different cell lines as reactive cells, the proliferative inhibitory effect of Con A induced suppressive cells (CISC) was observed. The percentage of inhibition of MLA144 was 93.1%, K562 77.5%, Raji 62.5%, Molt-4 46.4%, and P388 25.9%. It is possible that K562 and MLA144 can be used as reactive cells instead of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Supernatants of CISC were also shown to be inhibitory, although less so than CISC. The inhibitory activity of CISC did not seem to be related to prostaglandin. However, its activity could be diminished by anti-T11 monoclonal antibody and complement. These results indicate that CISC is a T11-positive lymphocyte population. The inhibitory activity of CISC from 48 normal donors was determined by this modified method and compared with that of 22 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The CISC activity of the patients was significantly lower than that of the normal subjects. Addition of exogeneous IL-2 to the culture enhanced the inhibitory activity in both groups.
