Abstract excerpt

In vitro inducible suppressor cell precursors were detected in the spleen of BALB/c but not in DBA/2 mice infected intraperitoneally with 10(8) Mycobacterium lepraemurium bacilli, thus suggesting that their development is genetically controlled. Two pairs of mouse strains congenic at the Ity/Lsh/Bcg locus (BALB/c-C.D2 and B10.A-B10.A.Bcgr) were used to investigate whether this phenomenon is influenced by this...
