Abstract: | Intravenous administration of Corynebacterium parvum to mice during a developing immune response to alloantigens resulted in the marked inhibition of the generation and expression of memory cell-mediated cytotoxic response in the spleen. The inhibition was observed following rechallenge in vivo or by in vitro culturing with the same alloantigen. The impairment in vitro was due, in part, to the generation of regulatory cells which were non-T phagocytic cells, probably macrophages activated by C. parvum administration. These suppressor macrophages appear to act by inhibiting proliferation and clonal expansion of memory cytotoxic cells. |
