Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is a CD8+ T cell-mediated, inflammatory response to hapten sensitization and challenge of the skin. During sensitization, the magnitude and duration of hapten-specific CD8+ T cell expansion in the skin-draining lymph nodes (LN) are restricted by CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells (Treg). The regulation of hapten-specific CD8+ T cell priming in Class II MHC-deficient (MHC-/-) mice was investigated. Although hapten-specific CD8+ T cell priming and CHS responses were… CONTINUE READING
