Abstract:
:Spleen cells from rats 2 to 132 days old were cultured with 1-125 micrograms/ml Concanavalin A (Con A). At high doses of Con A, the high spontaneous thymidine uptake of spleen cells from rats 15 to 21 days old was suppressed, whereas spleen cells from younger rats showed no suppression of spontaneous mitogenesis at equally high Con A doses. Removal of either plastic-, nylon wool-, or carbonyl iron (cFe) adherent cells not only removed suppression of background by high Con A doses, but also allowed mitogenic responses at adult levels in normally unresponsive 15 to 21 day old pups. Low doses of X-irradiation did not cause a similar loss of suppression. We suggest that although there is an influx of ConA responsive cells into the rat spleens at 15 to 16 days, the mitogen responses of these cells are suppressed by an adherent cell population which is activated by high doses of Con A.
