Abstract
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.
