We studied the effects of alloantigen-stimulated lymphocytes in the regulation of hematopoiesis. Alloantigen-stimulated lymphocytes were harvested on days 2 to 3, days 6 to 7, or days 9 to 10 of MLC and were tested for their effects on granulocyte/macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-C). Dose-dependent suppression of CFU-C was observed when alloantigen-stimulated lymphocytes from days 6 to 7 and days 9 to 10 MLC were added to the cultures of autologous or allogeneic bone marrow cells for CFU-C assays. Suppressive activity was detected in the T cell fraction but not in the non-T cell fraction. For further characterization of these CFU-C/suppressor cells, alloantigen- stimulated lymphocytes were treated with radiation (2000 rad) or with monoclonal antibodies against T cell subsets and complement (C) before culture. Suppressive activity was completely abolished by treatment with OKT8 or OKIa1 antibodies and C whereas suppression was retained after radiation treatment. These observations suggest that CFU- C/suppressor cells can be induced by alloantigen stimulation in MLC and that they are radioresistant OKT8+ and Ia+ T cells.
