Abstract
The Ig[immunoglobulin]M (Fc)-binding subpopulation of human newborn T [thymus-derived] lymphocytes (TM) suppressed, the pokeweed mitogen-induced differentiation of adult B [bone marrow-derived] lymphocytes. Positively isolated IgG (Fc)-binding T lymphocytes (TG) suppressed, but lymphocyte preparations negatively enriched for TG by the depletion of TM cells were not suppressive. The Fc receptor specificity of the human newborn suppressor appears to resemble that of the human Con [concanavalin] A suppressor.
