In preliminary experiments the ability of these antibodies to influence DC accumulation in draining lymph nodes induced by topical exposure of mice to oxazolone was investigated. Groups of BALB/c strain mice received intradermal injections into both ear pinnae of rat antimouse IL-1R antibodies, or of the same amount of control rat IgG. Mice were exposed topically to oxazolone 90 min later. Control (naive) mice were untreated. Draining auricular lymph nodes were excised 18 h later and the frequency of DC per node assessed by direct morphological examination of DC-enriched fractions of lymph node cells using a method described previously (Cumberbatch and Kimber 1992). Figure 1 summarizes the results obtained in two independent experiments. Oxazolone was found to induce a substantial accumulation of DC in draining lymph nodes. Prior local treatment of mice with anti-IL-1RI antibody resulted in a very substantial inhibition of DC accumulation, whereas anti-IL-1RII antibody had little effect (Fig. 1). Local administration of antibodies, or control IgG, was without effect on either resting or control (acetone: olive oil-treated) lymph node DC numbers (data not shown). In previous experiments we have demonstrated that LC require signals from both TNF-α and IL-1β for migration (Cumberbatch et al. 1997b). Thus, LC mobilization provoked by either allergen or TNF-α was found to be dependent upon the local availability of IL-1β. To investigate this requirement further we have now examined the influence of anti-IL-1R antibodies on the stimulation of DC accumulation induced by the intradermal injection of homologous recombinant TNF-α. Groups of mice were treated intradermally with anti-IL-1R antibodies or control immunoglobulin, as described above, 90 min prior to injection at the same site of TNF-α suspended in bovine serum albumin (BSA). Control (naive) mice were untreated. Draining auricular lymph nodes were excised 4 h following exposure to TNF-α and the frequency of DC determined as above. Two separate experiments are illustrated in Fig. 2. In both instances TNF-α caused a substantial increase in the number of DC within draining nodes which was largely or completely inhibited by prior exposure of mice to anti-IL-1RI. In contrast, anti-IL-1RII antibody was either without effect on DC accumulation or caused only a modest reduction (Fig. 2). Intradermal administration of BSA alone or pretreatment with anti-IL-1R antibodies at the same site, had no effect on DC accumulation (data not shown). Collectively, these data demonstrate that the integrity of DC accumulation induced in mice by local exposure to either a contact allergen or TNF-α is compromised very substantially by anti-IL-1RI, but not by anti-IL-1RII, blocking antibodies. In none of the experiments described above did control rat IgG alone have any effect on DC accumulation. A final series of experiments was performed to examine directly the influence of these antibodies on LC migration from the epidermis. For this purpose LC migration was stimulated by the intradermal injection of homologous recombinant TNF-α rather than allergen. We have shown previously that TNF-α stimulates the very rapid migration (within 30 min) of a proportion of LC from the epidermis; a response, that like allergen, is dependent upon the availability of IL-1β (Cumberbatch et al. 1994, 1997b). Mice received intradermal injections of anti-IL-1R antibodies, or of control immunoglobulin, into both ear pinnae, 90 min prior to receipt at the same site of a second intradermal injection of either TNF-α in BSA, or of BSA alone. After a further 30 min, ears were removed and the frequency of MHC class II (Ia)+ LC …
