title: Antigen- and isotype-specific regulation of IgE responses by Lyt 1+,2,3- and Lyt 1-,2,3+ T suppressor cells.
abstract: Antigen-specific, IgE isotype-selective suppression is induced following treatment of mice with a high-molecular-weight glutaraldehyde-polymerized ovalbumin preparation (OA-POL). The results show that the suppression is mediated by Lyt 1+,2,3- cells residing in the spleen. Adoptive transfer experiments indicate that Lyt 2,3+ or Lyt 1,2,3+ cells are not required for the establishment of suppression by these Lyt 1+,2,3- suppressor T cells (Ts). Treatment of OA-POL-induced Ts cells with anti-I-Jk serum and complement does not affect their ability to suppress. In marked contrast, spleen cells from animals treated with a single course of OA-POL almost 300 days previously, were shown to contain boosterable memory suppressor T cells (Tsm) which display the Lyt 1-,2,3+ phenotype. The activity of both Ts and Tsm cells appears to result from stimulation by determinants common to native OA and OA-POL rather than by idiotypic determinants expressed on anti-OA antibodies.
