Fractions of retroplacental sera containing pregnancy-associated .alpha.2-glycoprotein (PAAG) inhibited the lymphocyte transformation. The inhibitory effect did not correlate to the amount of this protein. It remained even after a specific depletion of the PAAG without altering the composition of the other proteins in the sera fractions. These results rule out a suppressive activity of the PAAG in the lymphocyte transformation.
