Abstract:Inhibitor of DNA synthesis, is a soluble, protein lymphocyte factor which nonspecifically suppresses in vitro lymphocyte responses to antigens or mitogens. It is secreted in large amounts in vivo in some experimentally induced immunological paralysis. Here, we have defined the cell secreting IDS in one experimental model of non-specific immune-suppression, ie., that of antigenic competition. Lymphocytes of rats injected with a large dose of ovalbumin intravenously, show no immunologic response to the same or o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
