T-suppressor-inducer and T-suppressor-effector hybridoma supernatants both regulating the DTH reaction intensity triggered by trinitrophenyl-sulphonic acid (TNPSA) or antigen-dependent proliferation of mice lymph node cells to trinitrophenylated bovine serum albumin, possess and ability to inhibit proliferation of TNPSA-modified human and mice leukaemic cells. This effect is specific, and is caused from antigen binding. This effect is specific, and is caused from antigen binding, idiotype positive T-suppressor factors and is based on a cyclic adenosine monophosphate increase of the concentration in target cells.
