Dialysate (BWD) separated from the aqueous extract of buckwheat was previously shown to be a haptenic substance capable of neutralizing Ig cells for adoptive anti-DNP IgE formation was little affected by BWD treatment. Lymphocyte transformation to BWND and other non-specific mitogens using spleen cells obtained from sensitized mice was inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion by the addition of BWD. Lymphocyte transformation using spleen cells pretreated with BWD was not affected by other non-specific mitogens except for BWND and pokeweed mitogen.
