The influence of immunosuppressive drugs on class II (HLA-D) antigen synthesis and expression by monocytes and B and T cells was studied. The constitutive HLA-D expression on monocytes and malignant B cells was resistant, while the acquisition of those markers by stimulated T cells very sensitive to immunosuppression. Active derivative of cyclophosphamide (4HCy) and cyclosporine proved to be most efficacious inhibitors of class II antigens.
