The specific suppression of contact sensitivity [PDF]
The ability of 2,4,6 trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced regulatory cells to modulate the generation of contact sensitivity (CS) to picryl chloride has been studied. We have confirmed that such suppressor cells can modulate CS and have extended these observations to demonstrate that suppressor factors, liberated by suppressor cells in ...
