title: Studies of the MHC class I molecules of veto-active and veto-inactive lectin-stimulated spleen cell populations.
abstract: Mouse spleen cells activated for three days with ConA, but not with PHA and LPS, were found to possess strong veto activity. Thus, ConA-activated spleen cells were capable of preventing a cytotoxic T cell response generated in MLC against the H-2 haplotype of the ConA-activated cells. Radiolabelling and chemical cross-linking of veto-active and veto-inactive cells, followed by immunoprecipitation of H-2, class I antigens, and analyses of the precipitates by one and two dimensional SDS PAGE were performed. By these procedures we were unable to demonstrate qualitative and quantitative differences between precipitates of veto-active and veto-inactive cell populations.
