Abstract
A primary immune response to normal BDF1 spleen cells was obtained in vitro to the T-independent antigen TNP-T4 coliphage. This anti-TNP response was suppressed by exposing the spleen cells for 6 hr to TNP bound either to isologous or heterologous
-globulin. The suppression was hapten specific. In contrast, TNP-albumin conjugates did not induce tolerance in vitro.
