| Abstract | We have found suppressor T cells that inhibit the proliferative response of naive CD4+ T cells in T cell receptor (TCR) Vβ8.1 transgenic mice rendered tolerant in vivo by inoculation of Mls-1a-positive cells. This suppression was mediated by CD4+ T cells but not by CD8+ T cells or double-negative (DN) cells, and splenic CD4+ T cells from tolerant mice displayed a greater suppression than lymph node CD4+ T cells. Cell contact was required for efficient suppression, and known inhibitory cytokines such as IL-4, IL-10, and transforming growth factor β were not involved. Suppressor T cells inhibited IL-2 production by naive CD4+ T cells, and the addition of exogenous IL-2 diminished the suppressed activity while having little activity on tolerant T cells. Suppression was abolished by the elimination of CD25+ T cells in the tolerant CD4+ T cell subset. CD25+CD4+ T cells suppressed the proliferative response of the residual fraction of the nonanergic population, namely, 6C10+CD4+ T cells still present in the tolerant mice. However, 6C10−CD4+ T cells still had reduced reactivity to Mls-1a even after CD25+CD4+ T cells were removed and exogenous IL-2 was added. Suppressor cells appear to affect only residual nonanergic cells in situ, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the unresponsive state in vivo. These data provide a framework for understanding suppressor T cells and explain the difficulties and variables in defining their activity in other systems, because suppressor T cells apparently control only a small population of nonanergic cells in the periphery and may be viewed as a homeostatic mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
