Animals treated epicutaneously with such preparations were tested for contact sensitivity to TNP hapten or DTH hypersensitivity to hemocyanin. Antigen specificity of induced unresponsiveness was tested in vivo in \u2018transfer-in\u2019 and \u2018transfer-out\u2019 experiments. The influence of skin-induced regulatory cells on in vitro [&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;\/sup&gt;H]thymidine uptake by immune cells as well as the possible mode of their action using anticytokine antibodies were tested. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; Our procedure in which different protein antigens are applied on the skin in the form of cream induces a state of antigen-nonspecific unresponsiveness affecting cell-mediated immune responses in mice. Cream alone has no such effect. Suppression is transferable in vivo by TCR-\u03b1\u03b2 lymphocytes, while T\u03b3\u03b4 cells show no activity. In vitro, lymphoid cells of skin-tolerized mice suppress [&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;\/sup&gt;H]-thymidine incorporation by immune cells and this effect can be abolished by adding anti-TGF-\u03b2 but neither anti-IL-4 nor anti-IL-10 antibodies. &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt; Lack of antigen-specifity of unresponsiveness induced by epicutaneous deposition of cream containing protein antigens resembles \u2018determinant spreading\u2019 in oral tolerance induced by antigen feeding. This may suggest that similar immunoregulatory mechanisms operate on these two bodily surfaces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000057998","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,15]],"date-time":"2003-04-15T21:05:17Z","timestamp":1050440717000},"page":"8-14","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Epicutaneous Application of Protein Antigens Incorporated into Cosmetic Cream Induces Antigen-Nonspecific Unresponsiveness in Mice and Affects the Cell-Mediated Immune Response"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"128","author":[{"given":"W\u0142odzimierz","family":"Ptak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marian","family":"Szczepanik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Bryniarski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"Tutaj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Ptak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.immunol.12.1.809"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/clin.1997.4432"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.93.1.388"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-1759(87)90324-3"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1084\/jem.188.10.1849"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/346281a0"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.immunol.16.1.137"}],"container-title":["International Archives of Allergy and Immunology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/57998","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/57998","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:57:21Z","timestamp":1745467041000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000057998"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2002]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,5,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000057998","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-2438","1423-0097"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1018-2438"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0097"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2002]]}}}
