RESUMO
By using polyethylene glycol 1540, BW5147 AKR T lymphoma cells were fused with splenocytes from A/J mice treated so as to induce suppressor T cells specific for azobenzenearsonate (ABA). Of 576 microwells originally seeded, 132 demonstrated growing cell clones, 4 of which produced an ABA-binding supernatant factor. When tested in vivo for suppression of delayed-type hypersensitivity to ABA, two of these cell lines, A4 and F12, were shown to produce suppressive supernatant factors. Fluorescence analysis of the F12 cells with appropriate antisera demonstrated this T cell hybrid to be Thy 1.2+, Lyt 1+,2-, and surface immunoglobulin negative, the surface marker phenotype of conventional ABA-specific suppressor T cells. This cloned suppressor cell line, F12, produces a culture supernatant factor that is suppressive at dilutions up to 1:100 and has provided material for genetic and immunochemical analysis.
