Popis: Inhibition of blast-transformation of human lymphocytes, induced by phytohemagglutinin (PHA), with the aid of F(ab′)2-fragment of rabbit IgG was studied. Preincubation of lymphocytes with F(ab′)2-fragments for 24 h at 37 and 4°C followed by change of medium and the addition of PHA did not affect the intensity of blast transformation. However, the F(ab′)2-fragment could depress blast-transformation of lymphocytes if removed from the medium 24 and 48 h after the beginning of stimulation. It can be concluded from these results that the F(ab′)2-fragment interacts only with cells activated by the phytomitogen and exhibits its inhibitory action on cells already bound with PHA.
