Immunosuppressive Serum Factors in Viral Hepatitis. I. Characterization of Serum Inhibition Factor(s) as Lymphocyte Antiactivator(s)
Norbert W. Brattig, Peter A.

In addition, an effect on concanavalin A‐induced T suppressor cell activity and pokeweed mitogen‐stimulated IgG and IgM synthesis was demonstrated.
