title: Cyclosporin alters the induction of allospecific tolerance in vivo.
abstract: CBA mice were made hyporesponsive to A/J alloantigens by either neonatal inoculation of (CBA X A)F1 hybrid lymphoid cells or by intravenous injection of adult mice with A/J bone marrow cells. Specific alloreactivity was assessed in vitro by induction of anti-A/J cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) or in vivo by skin graft rejection. Cyclosporin A given at the same time as the tolerance-inducing regimen of F1 (or parental) lymphoid cells abolished the hyporesponsiveness normally induced by these injections.
