to picryl chloride of recipients sensitized with picryl chloride, and cells from donors that had been both P. aeruginosa injected and picryl chloride sensitized failed to depress contact sen-sicivity to oxamone of recipient mice sensitized with oxazolone Jfhese results indicated that the cells responsible for the depression of contact sensitivity in P. aeruginosa-injected mice were antigen specific in that they reąuired specific antigenic stimulation.

Effect of cyclophosphamide on the pre-cursors of suppressor cells in P. aerugi-nosa-injected mice. Normal mice were sensitized with/gfxazolone and 1 h later were injected intravenously with 50 x 10® spleen cells from donors sensitized 4 days previously with the same antigen. Two groups of donors were also injected with either P. aeruginosa or 200 mg of cyclo./phosphamide per kg 24 or 48 h before sensitizatioi^respectively. A third group of donors received both R aeruginosa and cyclophos-phamide. Sensitizea mice receiving no cells were used as Controls. The challenge of the experi-mental and control^groups was performed with oxazolone 6 days after the celi transfer. Cycl<j| phosphamide completely inhibited the develop-ment of suppressor activity in the spleens of mice injected with P. aeruginosa and sensitized with oxazo!one (Table 3).

DISCUSSION

The results show that heat^killed P. aeruginosa depresses contact sensitivity to oxazolone in CÓ7BL/6 mice when injected intravenously 24 h oefore sensitization. The spleens and the draining lymph nodes of mice exhibiting an im-paired reactivity to oxazolone contain a celi pop-ulation capable of passively transferring the sup-pression of contac^ensitivity to recipients sensitized immediately before the celi transfer with the same antigen. The suppressive activity of these cells apDears to be antigen specific, sińce they do n^/ffect the response to a different sensitizing agent, picryl chloride, and because they arLse in P. aeruginosa-injected mice ordy when they are sensitized. These suppressor cells, which occur in the draining lymph nodes and spleen at 3 and 4 days after sensitization, respec-tively, have precursors sei|j||five to cyclophos-phamide.
