This form of regulation that has been identified in contact hypersensitivity and in delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to tumor cells, was shown not to be antigen-specific but to be DTH-specific. Injection of mice with the TABM called picryl chloride factor (PCl-F) induced suppression of the production of DTH-initiating TABMs of other antigenic specificities. In this study, we report that intravenous injection of mice with Tric-F or PC1-F, 8 days before an oral infection with T. spiralis, induced suppressor cells that inhibited the T-cell-dependent influx into the gut of inflammatory cells, comprising mast cells and eosinophils. Similar results were obtained when the mice were skin sensitized with PC1 8 days prior to a T. spiralis infection, i.e. in a system where TABMs are known to be produced. The phenotype of these suppressor cells was Lyt-1\u2013\u20132+. This suppression preferentially affected the parasite-induced DTH-like response in the gut. In contrast, increased levels of IgA plasma cells in the gut, and worm expulsion were not affected by these treatments. In reciprocal experiments, intravenous injection of Tric-F, or PC1-F, or an oral infection with T. spiralis (that results in the production of TABMs) given 8 days before contact sensitizing mice with PC1, resulted in a suppression of elicitation of cutaneous DTH, as measured by ear swelling. In contrast, pretreatment with anti-dinitrophenyl IgE antibody did not interfere with intestinal inflammation to T. spiralis nor with DTH to PC1. Our results suggest that similar to cutaneous DTH, T. spiralis-specific T-cell factors are involved in the initiation and regulation of the DTH-like mast cell and eosinophil-rich intestinal inflammation that accompanies T. spiralis infections in the gut. Since both Tric-F and PCl-F induce suppression of cellular immune responses in vivo, independent of antigen specificity, it is concluded that Tric-F belongs to the same isotype of TABMs as PC1-F that therefore can be regulated by a non-antigen-specific, isotype-like, T-cell-dependent feedback mechanism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000235016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,12]],"date-time":"2009-08-12T09:53:17Z","timestamp":1250070797000},"page":"144-154","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Antigen-Specific T-Cell Factors Induce Isotype-Like Suppression of Mast Cell and Eosinophil-Rich T-Cell-Dependent Inflammation in the Intestine of Mice Infected with Trichinella spiralis"],"prefix":"10.1159","author":[{"given":"H.K.","family":"Parmentier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.W.","family":"Dijkstra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Wissink","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.J.","family":"Ruitenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.W.","family":"Askenase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"van Loveren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,6]]},"container-title":["International Archives of Allergy and Applied Immunology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/235016","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article-pdf\/doi\/10.1159\/000235016","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T11:03:18Z","timestamp":1777633398000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000235016"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,6]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000235016","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0020-5915","2571-6662"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0020-5915","type":"print"},{"value":"2571-6662","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,6]]}}}
