he expression of I-A antigen in rat peritoneal cells was significantly reduced during infection with Cryptococcus neoformans. When studying the in vitro action of T-suppressor cells induced by the fungus, or a soluble factor from the T-suppressor cells, a significant decrease in I-A expression by the peritoneal cells was observed. This expression was partially restored by indomethacin.
