Until now in vitro stimulation tests have failed to detect DNCB contact sensitivity in guinea-pigs sensitized epicutaneously without the use of adjuvants. In this study DNP-conjugates optimally inducing contact sensitivity in vivo were tested for their capacity to detect DNCB contact sensitivity in vitro in a lymphocyte transformation assay. In vivo contact sensitivity measurements in guinea-pigs which had been immunized with different hapten-cell conjugates, showed that (1) living cells should be used for conjugation with the allergen, (2) macrophages are optimal carriers and (3) syngeneity is not required. Therefore, DNFB-coated peritoneal macrophages (viable when conjugated) were used as an antigen for in vitro stimulation. Using this conjugate, a highly reproducible antigen-specific increase in DNA synthesis could be obtained in lymph node lymphocytes from guinea-pigs that had been sensitized to DNCB by epicutaneous application of the allergen without the use of adjuvants.
迄今为止,在不使用佐剂的情况下经皮致敏的豚鼠,体外刺激试验未能检测到其对二硝基氯苯(DNCB)的接触敏感性。在本研究中,对在体内能最佳诱导接触敏感性的二硝基苯(DNP)缀合物,在淋巴细胞转化试验中检测其体外检测DNCB接触敏感性的能力。对用不同半抗原-细胞缀合物免疫的豚鼠进行体内接触敏感性测量,结果表明:(1)应使用活细胞与变应原结合;(2)巨噬细胞是最佳载体;(3)不需要基因同质性。因此,用二硝基氟苯(DNFB)包被的腹膜巨噬细胞(结合时 viable)用作体外刺激的抗原。使用这种缀合物,通过经皮施用变应原而不使用佐剂致敏的豚鼠的淋巴结淋巴细胞中,可获得高度可重复的抗原特异性DNA合成增加。
