HLA-DR-specific suppressor cells after repeated allogeneic sensitizations of human lymphocytes in vitro
In conclusion, DR-specific suppressor cells can be induced by repeated in vitro sensitizations. They were able (1) to decrease a secondary proliferation, (2) to suppress consistently, in a primary proliferative assay, when added as third cells (primed twice against a DR antigen [PLT II] and gamma-irradiated), the response of unprimed cells towards stimulating cells, which share a DR specificity with the priming cell of the PLT II. The suppression follows the D part of the recombinant haplotype within an HLA-B/D recombinant family and is specific for the DR antigen used twice as stimulator for production of the PLT II.

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
