Abstract

Pretreatment of Strain 2 and Strain 13 guinea pigs with guinea pig thyroglobulin (GPTG) coupled to syngeneic spleen cells (GPTG-SC) suppressed the development of experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) induced by immunization with GPTG in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). Antibody titers to GPTG were only minimally suppressed in GPTG-SC pretreated animals. GPTG-SC also suppressed the sensitization of periotneal exudate T lymphocytes which proliferate in vitro in the presence of GPTG.
