title: Generation of T cell growth factor (TCGF)- dependent splenic lymphoid cell line with cell-mediated immunosuppressive reactivity against syngeneic murine tumor.
abstract: Splenic T cells obtained from tumor-bearing mice could be cultured with T cell growth factor (TCGF) for over 12 months. The TCGF-dependent lymphoid cell line strongly inhibited cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity directed against syngeneic tumor. However, the suppression was non-specific for the given tumor. The cell line expanded with TCGF expressed a phenotypic characterization of T cells defined by monoclonal anti-Thy-1.2 antibody.
