After diluting the obtained polymer in a culture medium, add it to the B cell suspension to a final concentration equivalent to 50 g / ml, and incubate in vitro at 37 ° C for 90 minutes to perform pulse labeling. Was done.
- the amount of the antibody was measured using the absorbance (A 4 g 2 ) at a wavelength of 492 nm as an index. The same applies to the positive control and the negative control.
- FIG 2 shows that B cells treated with the heat-denatured antigen (OVA polymer; “ ⁇ ” in Figure 2) produce more antibody than untreated B cells (“ ⁇ ” in Figure 2). Was suppressed.
- OVA polymer heat-denatured antigen
- an immunosuppressant which does not cause an immune reaction against a specific antigen. It is.
- the immunosuppressive agent of the present invention can be used for treatment for suppressing rejection in organ transplantation, transplant-versus-host disease (GVHD) in bone marrow transplantation, and prevention of allergy.
- GVHD transplant-versus-host disease
