Mice printed i.v. wit 10(9) sheep red blood cells (SRBC) produce antigen-specific T suppressor (Ts) cells which inhibit both the induction and the expression of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH). These Ts cells are detectable in the spleen and lymph nodes 3-5 days after priming but are largely absent by 6 days. The transient detectability of the Ts cells contrasts sharply with the profound antigen-specific suppression which persists in primed donor mice for at least a year. Evidence is presented that this long-term impairment of DTH is maintained, at least in part, by memory Ts cells which are Thy-1+, cyclophosphamide-resistant and antigen-specific. Although they appear to be co-induced with the short-lived primary Ts cells and localize initially in the lymphoid organs, they are present in the long-lived circulating pool of T cells and can be adoptively transferred by celomic parabiosis. Memory Ts cells are readily reactivated by lower doses of SRBC which would induce T effector cells rather than Ts cells in naive animals. Reactivated memory Ts cells seem to generate a population of antigen-specific secondary Ts cells which again localizes in the lymphoid organs and can adoptively suppress the induction and expression of DTH to SRBC.
