Abstract
The effect of pre-immunization with soluble haptenated serum proteins or haptenated carbohydrates on the subsequent responses to the hapten in thymus-dependent or thymus-independent form was investigated. In certain cases thymus-dependent and -independent responses were suppressed. A differential suppression of thymus-independent responsiveness was observed in others. These results are discussed in terms of [mouse] B[bone marrow derived]-cell subpopulations and mechanisms of tolerance induction.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
