In this study we wanted to analyse the pattern of the immune response to the Parietaria major allergen Par j 1 in freshly purified peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) from healthy subjects. We observed that Par j 1 was capable of inducing IFN-gamma production by CD3(-) and CD16(+)/CD56(+) cells exclusively in healthy individuals. Furthermore, a multiparametric analysis allowed us a better definition of two IFN-gamma-Par j 1 specific populations (IFN-gamma(dim) and IFN-gamma(high)) characterized by the presence of different proportions of NKT and NK cells. We also identified the concomitant presence of a subset of IL-10(+) NK cells. Moreover, CFSE staining showed that the Par j 1 preferentially induced the proliferation of CD3(-)/CD56(+)/CD335(+) cells. Finally, a subset of CD4(+)/CD25(+)/FoxP3(+)/IL-10(-) T cells was identified. The result of this pilot study suggest that during a tolerogenic response, the major allergen of the Parietaria pollen works as an activator of both the innate and the adaptive human immune system.
