It has recently been established that FcRs are involved in the
triggering of type II and III inflammatory responses. Although FcR is
not believed to be involved in the regulation of T cell function, the
in vivo contribution of FcRs to T cell function still remains unclear.
We analyzed in vivo responses of delayed-type hypersensitivity and
proliferation of CD4+ T cells to Ags in
FcR
-/- mice lacking the expression and
function of Fc
RI, Fc
RIII, and Fc
RI. We found that the
delayed-type hypersensitivity response in
FcR
-/- mice is significantly decreased
compared with that in wild-type mice. Moreover, the secondary responses
of proliferation and cytokine production as well as the Ab formation by
CD4+ T cells from FcR
-/- mice
to Ag and normal APCs were also reduced. In contrast, in vitro primary
T cell proliferative responses upon stimulation with anti-TCR Ab or
MLR as well as in vivo primary response against staphylococcus
enterotoxin B administration were not different between T cells from
FcR
-/- and wild-type mice. In addition,
the Ag presentation function of APCs from unimmunized
FcR
-/- mice was normal. On the other hand,
Ab-deficient mice also revealed impaired T cell responses. These
results demonstrate that the defective T cell responses in
FcR
-/- mice were due to impaired Ag
presentation during in vivo priming not to a defect in T cells.
Therefore, they suggest that the FcRs on APCs mediate efficient priming
of Th cell responses in vivo in an immune complex-dependent
manner.
