Our previous work showed that epicutaneous (EC) immunization with protein antigen e.g. TNP-conjugated mouse immunoglobulin (TNP-Ig) in the form of a patch prior to hapten sensitization inhibits Th1-mediated contact hypersensitivity (CHS) in mice. We also found that suppression of CHS was mediated by TCRαβ+ CD4+ CD8+ T suppressor (Ts) cells producing TGF-β. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of innate immunity in suppression of CHS. Mice were immunized by applying gauze patches containing protein antigen alone or in the presence of zymosan and then tested for CHS response. Adoptive cell transfer experiments were used to study mechanisms involved in reversal of skin-induced suppression. Influence of EC immunization on cytokine production by lymph node cells was measured by ELISA. We found that EC immunization with TNP-Ig and zymosan before TNP-Cl sensitization reverses skin-induced suppression as demonstrated in vivo and in vitro. The reversal of skin-induced suppression was transferable by antigen-specific TCRαβ+ CD4+ T contrasuppressor (Tcs) cells. Furthermore, we showed that the contrasuppression was IL-17A dependent and TLR2 and MyD88 independent. Our work strongly suggests that EC immunization with protein antigen and zymosan reverses skin-induced suppression and that this approach may be a potential tool to increase immunogenicity of weekly immunogenic antigens.
