Concanavalin A-activated suppressor cells in normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes.

C Hubert, G Delespesse, A Govaerts
PMCID: PMC1540828  PMID: 137093

Abstract

A 24-hr preincubation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes in the presence of Con A renders them suppressive for the response of untreated cells to soluble antigens, allogeneic cells and Con A.
