title: Adoptive transfer of resistance to growth of an idiotype-secreting hybridoma by T cells from idiotypically suppressed mice.
abstract: A/J or CAF1 mice that are suppressed with respect to an idiotype, CRIA, associated with anti-Ar antibodies, and hyperimmunized develop high concentrations of idiotype-suppressor T cells. In this paper we show that such CAF1 mice are resistant to the growth of a CRIA-positive hybridoma that is lethal in normal or in immunized non-suppressed mice. No resistance was observed to the growth of a hybridoma secreting anti-Ar antibodies that lack CRIA. The state of resistance could be adoptively transferred to naive syngeneic recipients with spleen cells or T-enriched spleen cells from suppressed hyper-immunized mice; B-enriched cells were ineffective.
