Pituitary tissues were investigated for the presence of regulatory molecules that would alter the function of lymphoid cells. A novel endogenous polypeptide inhibitor of basal and mitogen-stimulated splenocyte DNA synthesis and proliferation, suppressin, was isolated from bovine pituitary glands. Suppressin is a potent inhibitor of basal and mitogen-stimulated splenocyte proliferation at picomole and nanomole concentrations with 50% inhibition occurring 2.8 x 10(-9) M. Suppressin was purified to apparent homogeneity using sequential (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, and preparative native gel electrophoresis. Biochemical characterizations of suppressin showed that this inhibitory molecule was a monomeric polypeptide with (i) a Mr = 63,000 and (ii) a pI of 8.1. Finally, metabolic labeling studies using a rat pituitary tumor cell line, GH3, showed that suppressin was synthesized de novo and secreted by these cells.
