Abstract
Abstract— Intradermal recombinant ovine (rov) GM‐CSF was associated with the accumulation over 5 DAys of MHC Class‐II+ dendritic cells at the injection site, as well as increased numbers of neutrophils, eosinophils and lymphocytes when compared to control injection sites receiving heat‐inactivated cytokines. Most of the dendritic cells were adjacent to the epidermis and dermal structures such as hair follicles, sweat glands and blood vessels. Fewer than 10% of the accumulating MHC Class‐II+ dendritic cells expressed the CD1 antigen and none expressed detectable CD lib or CD lie antigens. They did not appear to be proliferating. Injection of rov TNF‐α was associated with an increase in MHC Class‐II+ dendritic cells that was significant only in the epidermis and only at 2 DAys following the first of four daily injections. Increased numbers of neutrophils and lymphocytes, but not eosinophils, were also recorded. Injection of rov TNF‐α together with rov GM‐CSF enhanced the accumulation of the MHC Class‐II+, CD1+ subpopulation of dendritic cells compared to either cytokine alone. GM‐CSF in particular is involved in an in vivo pathway supporting the accumulation of predominantly MHC Class‐II+ CD1‐ dendritic cells which are a minor population in unchallenged skin.Résumé— Des injections intradermiques de GM‐CSF recombinant ovin sont associées à l'accumulation en 5 jours de cellules dendritiques MHC classe II(+) au site de l'injection, ainsi qu'à une augmentation du nombre de neutrophiles, éosinophiles et lymphocytes, comparativement à ce qui est observe aux points d'injection témoins qui ont reçu des cytokines inactivées par la chaleur. La plupart des cellules dentritiques sont adjacentes à l'épiderme, aux follicules pileux, aux glandes sudoripares et aux vaisseaux sanguins. Moins de 10% des cellules dendritiques MHC classe II(+) accumulées expriment l'antigène CD1 et aucune n'exprime les antigènes CD11b et CD11c. Elles ne semblent pas proliférer. L'injection de TNF alpha recombinant ovin est associée à une augmentation des cellules dendritiques MHC classe II(+) qui est significative seulement dans l'épiderme, et seulement 2 jours suivant la première des quatre injections. Une augmentation du nombre de neutrophiles et de lymphocytes, mais pas des éosinophiles est également notée. L'injection simultanée de TNF alpha recombinant ovin et de GM‐CSF recombinant ovin favorise l'accumulation d'une sous population de cellules dendritiques MHC classe II(+), CD1(+), comparativement à ce qui est observé en utilisant les cytokines séparément. GM‐CSF en particulier est in vivo à l'origine de l'accumulation de cellules dendritiques MHC classe II(+), CD1(—) qui forment une population mineure dans la peau. [Haig, D.
