title: Involvement of antigen and I-J determinants in the induction of effector T suppressor cells by immune B cells.
abstract: Immune B cells induce effector T suppressor cells in vitro. The B cells act as antigen-presenting cells, and express both I-A and I-J determinants. Antigen and I-J determinants are required for the induction of suppressor T cells by immune B cells, but I-A determinants are not. These findings indicate that precursors of suppressor T cells appear to recognize antigen in the context of I-J determinants on the surface of immune B cells.
