Abstract excerpt
Natural suppressor (NS) cells are MHC-unrestricted regulatory cells with non-specific inhibitory activity for immune responses. In adult mice, NS cells are characteristically found in bone marrow and in splenic tissue following total lymphoid irradiation and cyclophosphamide treatments. Recently, we have shown that the spleens of pregnant mice harbour a population of lymphocytes which resemble NS cells in terms...
