The first detectable suppressor T cell (Ts) arising after i.v. administration of azobenzenearsonate- (ABA) conjugated syngeneic spleen cells to A/J mice has been studied for its receptor specificity and ability to produce soluble suppressor factor(s). This cell, termed Ts1, has a specific receptor for the eliciting antigen ABA, as demonstrated by selective binding to ABA protein- but not TNP protein-coated plastic dishes. The activity of ABA-Ts1 can be abrogated by treatment with anti-idiotypic antibodies made against anti-ABA antibodies of A/J mice (anti-CRI), indicating that these ABA-binding cells possess a surface receptor structure sharing idiotypic determinants with antibodies of the same specificity. Finally, soluble extracts from, antigen-adherent ABA-Ts1, but not nonadherent cells from the same spleen cell population, possess suppressive activity when assayed directly for afferent suppression or tested for their ability to trigger a second population of Ts (Ts2) in naive recipients. These findings demonstrate a close concordance between a T cell surface receptor, soluble T suppressor factors, and B cell derived antibody, all capable of direct recognition of the eliciting ABA antigen.
