The injection of antigen into the anterior chamber (AC) induces the production of antigen-specific splenic CD8+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) /suppressor T cells that perform the local suppression of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses. Because CD94/NKG2A-Qa-1-dependent interactions have been implicated in CD8+ Treg-mediated immune suppression and DBA/2J mice are deficient in CD94/NKG2R, we have utilized these mice to test the hypothesis that the CD94/NKG2A-Qa-1 system is essential to… CONTINUE READING
