title: [Antigen-nonspecific suppression of the immune response in mice as affected by pertussis vaccine].
abstract: A study was made of the suppressorgenic action of killed whole-cell pertussis vaccine prepared from B. pertussis strains 475 and 305. Thymic and splenic lymphocytes of CBA mice 3-7 days following intraperitoneal or intravenous inoculation of pertussis vaccine were shown to inhibit in an antigen-nonspecific manner the plaque-forming cell (PFC) production in the adoptive transfer experiments. Suppression of graft-versus-host reaction was also observed, estimated by the survival of irradiated (CBA X C57BL/6) Fl mice, or by measuring the endogenous colony formation. Suppression-mediating cells were found to be susceptible to complement-dependent lysis by the anti-I-Jk alloantiserum against the specific marker of suppressor T cells, antigen I-J. Furthermore, thymocytes of pertussis vaccine-treated mice were shown to inhibit the endogenous colony formation in syngeneic mice irradiated in sublethal dose. Thus, B. pertussis vaccination of CBA mice resulted in appearance of suppressor T cells that exerted various inhibitory activities in several experimental test-systems.
