Popis: The membrane phenotype of T cells involved in delayed hypersensitivity (DH), protective immunity, and suppression of delayed hypersensitivity to herpes simplex virus (HSV) has been determined. T cells from immune lymph nodes transferring DH and antiviral immunity to normal recipients were characterized as Lyt 1 + 2 − . There appeared to be no detectable antiviral role for Lyt 1 − 2 + cells in the transferred cell suspension. Splenic T cells suppressing the induction of DH to HSV were characterized as being both Lyt 1 + 2 − and Lyt 1 − 2 + 4 weeks after their induction. At earlier times, i.e., after 7 days, the suppression was mediated solely by the Lyt 1 + 2 − population. Thereafter, a progressive increase in the contribution of the Lyt 1 − 2 + suppressor was observed. Both the early and later phases of suppression were due to I-J positive cells. The nature of the two suppressor cell-types is discussed in relation to suppressor cell “cascades” and to the pathogenesis of herpes simplex virus infection.
