Abstract
Suramin stimulated DNA synthesis in spleen cell cultures of all inbred strains of mice tested, including, for example, CBA, DBA/2, C57BL/6, and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-nonresponsive strain C3H/HeJ. The cells responding to the drugs were removed by passage through nylon wool columns, but they were not eliminated by in vivo treatment of the mice with anti-Thy 1.2 antibody. Spleen cells of homozygous nude mice (C57BL/6 or BALB/c background) were as reactive as those of their heterozygous littermates. Collectively the data show that suramin is a B-cell mitogen in the mouse.
