Suppression of immune responses by herpes virus type 2-transformed murine tumor cells.

abstract：:Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, known together as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are severe autoimmune disorders now causing gut inflammation and ulceration, among other symptoms, in up to 1 in 250 people worldwide. Incidence and prevalence of IBD have been increasing dramatically over the past several deca...

abstract：:SJL mice develop resistance against tolerance between the 9th and 25th wk of life. This resistance is linked with a loss of suppressor capacity in the thymus. We have shown here that contact photosensitivity (CPS) decreases as a function of age and that this is due to an age-dependent increase in suppressor capacity. ...
