We used gamma delta TCR-deficient (TCR delta(-/-)) mice to examine the role of gamma delta T cells for induction of mucosal responses and systemic tolerance to high versus low doses of oral antigen. When either TCR delta(-/-) or TCR delta(+/+) mice were immunized orally with a high dose of ovalbumin (OVA) prior to parenteral challenge, systemic IgG and IgE antibody responses were markedly reduced in both types of mice, while mucosal IgA responses were reduced only in the TCR delta(-/-) mice. Reduced T cell proliferative responses and delayed-type hypersensitivity were seen in TCR delta(-/-) and TCR delta(+/+) mice given the high dose of OVA, Antigen-induced T(h)1 and T(h)2,cytokine production by splenic CD4(+) T cells was severely inhibited in orally tolerized TCR delta(-/-) and TCR delta(+/+) mice. In contrast, while oral tolerance associated with increased levels of IL-10 synthesis was induced by a low dose of OVA in TCR delta(+/+) mice, the TCR delta(-/-) mice were not tolerized and failed to produce IL-10, Our findings indicate that gamma delta T cells play a significant immunoregulatory role in IL-10-mediated, low-dose oral tolerance induction, but are not essential participants in the induction of systemic tolerance to orally introduced antigens given in larger doses.
