It is shown that biologically active peptides inhibit the concanavalin
A-induced generation of cells which may proliferate in response to ex
ogenous recombinant interleukin-2. Determination of the number of CD25
-containing cells showed that synthetic peptides are able to lower not
only the number of CD25-containing cells but the level of its express
ion as well.
