This paper describes the characteristics of T suppressor inducer (Ts ind) cells which can interact with T suppressor effector (Ts eff) cells and thereby can account for suppression of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to alloantigens. Adoptive transfer of spleen cells from mice intravenously (i.v.) injected with allogeneic spleen cells one day earlier induced an antigen-specific state of suppression in the recipients. This became apparent when DTH was induced by subcutaneous (s.c.) immunization of the recipients three days after transfer. The induction of suppression after adoptive transfer of spleen cells required Thy-1+, L3T4+, Lyt-1+2- cells. These cells that by themselves did not exert a suppressive effect induced a state of suppression in recipient mice by activation of recipient-type Ts eff cells. Therefore, the former cell type was classified as Ts ind cell. When athymic nude mice were used as recipients, Lyt-2+ precursors of Ts eff cells had to be transferred together with the Ts ind cells to induce a state of suppression in these mice. The Ts ind cells could activate Ts eff cells in MHC- and Igh-incompatible recipients. The results are discussed in relation to previously described immunoregulatory T cell pathways.

MHC- and Igh-unrestricted interaction between L3T4+, Lyt-2- Ts inducer cells and L3T4-, Lyt-2+ Ts effector cells is required for T cell-dependent suppression of DTH to histocompatibility antigens.
