[Production of monoclonal antibodies to antigens of specific mouse T-suppressors].

F1(MSU X WAG) rats were immunized with anti B6 BALB/c specific suppressor T cells (SSTC), purified by absorption/elution technique, with the following fusion of splenocytes to NS-I myeloma cell line. Hybrids were screened for their ability to affect SSTC, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and producers of macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF-producers) all triggered by in vivo priming with allogeneic cells. Two hybridoma cell lines--C1 and C4 inactivated SSTC by approximately 50%, leaving CTL and MIF-producers intact. C4 were also active in vivo, if injected as ascitic fluid from nu/nu mice, though to a lesser extent than in vitro.
