title: [Suppressors of the graft vs graft reaction in tolerance to alloantigens].
abstract: Immune response and suppressor cell activity of CBA (H-2k) mice made tolerant to allogeneic C57B1/6 (H-2b) heart graft were studied in graft-versus-graft reaction (GvGR). Intact CBA spleen cells inhibited response of (CBA X C57B1/6)F1 cells to antigenic stimulus (sheep red blood cells--SRBC), when injected together into lethally irradiated (CBA X C57B1/6)F1 mice. Spleen cells of tolerant mice were unable to decrease immune response of (CBA X C57B1/6F1 lymphocytes to SRBC and suppressed specifically the inhibition induced by intact CBA spleen cells. Spleen cells from tolerant mice were also capable of suppressing GvGR induced by CBA lymphocytes immune to C57B1/6 cells. Pretreatment of tolerant spleen cells with rabbit antithymocyte globulin and complement before adoptive transfer diminished markedly the suppression. The results obtained in the study suggest that suppression of transplantation immunity in this model is mostly due to T suppressor cells.
