Popis: | Immunological competence of T and B lymphocytes of mice was studied 7 days after induction of tolerance by injection of a massive dose of sheep's red cells and cyclophosphamide. The ability of lymphocytes of the tolerant mice to influence cooperation between normal T and B lymphocytes also was investigated. This particular form of tolerance was shown to be due not to suppressor T cells, but to a true deficiency of “helper” T cells (in both the thymus and spleen) and, to some extent also, of B cells (in the spleen). The very small deficiency of B cells in the bone marrow was connected with the nonspecific action of cyclophosphamide. It is postulated that cyclophosphamide selectively eliminates cells proliferating under the influence of the antigen. |
