The effects of monosaccharides on the suppression of cytotoxic T cell generation by spleen cells from nu/nu mice were examined. Suppression of the B6 anti-BALB/c response and the B6 anti-C3H response was reversed by alpha-methyl-D-galactoside (alpha MG) but not other sugars, including beta MG. Suppression was associated with a decrease in the level of IL 2, which suggests competition; this decrease was also reversed by alpha MG.
