Epicutaneous sensitization with a protein antigen induces Th17 cells.
BACKGROUND Th17 is a newly identified effector T cell lineage which plays a central role in many human inflammatory diseases and experimental animal models. Epicutaneous sensitization with a protein antigen has been proven to induce a Th2-predominant immune response and lead to development of atopic diseases in a murine protein-patch model. OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the generation of Th17...
متن کاملLow-energy visible light irradiation modulates immune responses induced by epicutaneous sensitization with protein antigen.
Epicutaneous sensitization has been an important route for protein allergen sensitization in atopic disease. Although the skin is irradiated by sunlight daily, the influence of visible light on epicutaneous sensitization has not been explored. In this study, by using a well-established murine protein-patch model, we show that low-energy visible light (LEVL) irradiation could differentially modu...
متن کاملActivin A Inhibits Antigen-Induced Allergy in Murine Epicutaneous Sensitization
Activin A, a member of the TGFβ superfamily, is involved in physiological processes such as cell differentiation, tissue homeostasis, wound healing, reproduction, and in pathological conditions, such as fibrosis, cancer, and asthma. Activin enhances mast cell maturation, as well as regulatory T-cell and Langerhans cell differentiation. In this study we investigated the potential role of activin...
متن کاملEpicutaneous sensitization with protein antigen induces localized allergic dermatitis and hyperresponsiveness to methacholine after single exposure to aerosolized antigen in mice.
Our understanding of the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) and its relationship to asthma remains incomplete. Herein, we describe a murine model of epicutaneous (EC) sensitization to the protein allergen, chicken egg albumin, ovalbumin (OVA), which results in a rise in total and OVA-specific serum IgE and leads to the development of a dermatitis characterized by infiltration of CD3(+) T ce...
متن کاملEpicutaneous immunization with protein antigen induces antigen-non-specific suppression of CD8 T cell mediated contact sensitivity.
BACKGROUND Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) resulting from exposure to low molecular weight chemicals is a common clinical condition in industrialized countries and can be mediated by either Th1 or Tc1 lymphocytes. The animal model of contact sensitivity (CS) is commonly used to study ACD in mice and helps to test new therapeutics. We have previously shown that epicutaneous (EC) immunization w...
