Abstract / Description of output

Efferent lymph from the popliteal node of sheep challenged with antigen was found to suppress the in vitro transformation of sheep peripheral blood lymphocytes to a variety of antigens. The suppressor factor appeared 6-20 hr after challenged of the node and was shown to be prostaglandin E2, probably complexed to albumin.
