We describe the use of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) as an adjuvant in the induction of the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to purified protein derivative (PPD). Based upon our previous studies with antigen-pulsed macrophages (M phi), we have shown that both the Day 2 early (2 hr) reaction and the Day 3 (24 hr) reaction are augmented if 5HT is incorporated into the priming injection. Furthermore, we have confirmed that in contrast to M phi, antigen-pulsed dendritic cells (DC) fail to prime the early (2 hr) component of DTH. However, DC do prime the early response if injected along with 5HT. A peripheral 5HT antagonist, ICS 205-930, inhibits both the M phi-mediated and the 5HT/DC-primed reactions. These findings support the hypothesis that DTH reactions require a cascade of both inflammatory and immunological signals, and that in mice vascular permeability mediated via 5HT is important in the early phase of the reaction.
我们描述了使用5-羟色胺(5HT)作为佐剂来诱导对纯化蛋白衍生物(PPD)的迟发型超敏反应(DTH)。基于我们之前对抗原脉冲巨噬细胞(M phi)的研究,我们发现,如果将5HT加入初次注射中,第2天的早期(2小时)反应和第3天(24小时)反应都会增强。此外,我们已经证实,与M phi不同,抗原脉冲树突状细胞(DC)不能引发DTH的早期(2小时)成分。然而,如果与5HT一起注射,DC确实能引发早期反应。外周5HT拮抗剂ICS 205-930可抑制M phi介导的反应以及5HT/DC引发的反应。这些发现支持了这样的假设,即DTH反应需要一系列炎症和免疫信号,并且在小鼠中,经由5HT介导的血管通透性在反应的早期阶段很重要。
