Abstract: | ![]() Supernatants were harvested from a 24-hr culture of immune mouse spleen cells and erythrocyte antigens. Delayed footpad reactions to such heterologous erythrocytes were augmented antigen specifically when the supernatants were transferred a few hours before immunization of recipients. The augmentation factor(s) contained in the supernatants may exert its effect on the induction phase of delayed-type hypersensitivity. |
