title: [T-cell immunodeficiency in mice receiving lectin and cyclophosphamide].
abstract: Cyclophosphamide injections to mice following T cell mitogen (lectins from Lens culinaris and concanavalin A) were shown to suppress (20-40-fold) thymus-dependent response to SRBC. At the same time no damage-specific and polyclonal response to thymus-independent antigen and polyclonal activator of B cells--lipopolysaccharide--has been observed. Injections of lectin and cyclophosphamide to mice prevented the onset of DTH reaction to SRBC and induction of antigen-specific DTH suppressor cells. Thus, cyclophosphamide injection after T cell mitogen leads to T-cell anergy, with B-cell activity remaining unchanged.
