We previously reported that staDhylococca1 enterotoxin B (SEB) induced a flare-w Dhenownon in aurine contact hypersensitivity reaction (CHR) and that local imunological memory in CBR was intensified by repeated challenges with the specific hapten to the sane site. In this study, se investigated the effect of repeated challenges rith a haDten. dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). on SEB-induced flare-uo reaction in CHR. Mice were sensitized on day 0 and challenged on day 5 with DNFB. After that. DNlWchallenge ras repeated wee a reek.

THE REGULATION OF CO-STIMULATORY MOLECULES ON LANGERHANS CELLS BY VARIOUS BIOLOGICAL RESPONSE MODIFIERS, e.g., ADJUVANTS AND SUPERANTIGENS. s, * ~Department of Dermatology, Tohoku University School of Medicine, Sendai, Japan Recently it has been demonstrated that co-stimulatoty molecules on antigen presenting cells regulate the ThlfTh2 development pathways. In this study, we analyzed the effects of various biological response modifiers, such as adjuvants and superantigens, on co-stimulatory molecule expression by epidermal Langerbans cells. Various biological response modifiers were injected subcutaneously into the ears of BALBlc mice, and the expression of class II MHC antigen and various co-stimulatory molecules were examined by flow cytometry. The injection of both complete and incomplete Freund’s adjuvant enhanced the expression of class 11MHC antigen, ICAM-I, 87-l and B7-2. In contrast, alum, which was used as an adjuvant for inducing Th2 response, can only up-regulate 87-2. The staphylococcal superantigens we examined, e.g., SEA, SEB, TSST-1, also augmented the expression of class II hfHC antigen as well as co-stimulatory molecules; although the magnitude of their augmentation induced by SEB was the greatest among them. These data suggest the possibility that biological response modifiers can modulate the expression of co-stimulatoty molecules on LC, which results in the regulation of ThliTh2 development.
