We define the initiation of elicited delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) as a series of processes leading to local extravascular recruitment of effector T cells. Responses thus have two sequential phases: 1) 2-h peaking initiation required for subsequent recruitment of T cells, and 2) the late classical 24-h component mediated by the recruited T cells. We analyzed DTH initiation to protein Ags induced by intradermal immunization without adjuvants. Ag-spceific initiating cells are present by 1 day in spleen and lymph nodes. Their phenotypes, determined by depletion of cell transfers by mAb and complement, are CD5+, CD19+, CD22+, B220+, Thy1+, and Mac1+, suggesting that they are B-1 B cells. DTH initiation is absent in µMT B cell and xid B-1 cell deficient mice, is impaired in mice unable to secrete IgM, and is reconstituted with 1 day immune serum, suggesting that early B-1 cell-derived IgM is responsible. Study of complement C5a receptor-deficient mice, anti-C5 mAb neutralization, or mast cell deficiency suggests that DTH initiation depends on complement and mast cells. ELISPOT assay confirmed production of Ag-specific IgM Abs at days 1 and 4 in wild-type mice, but not in B-1 cell-deficient xid mice. We conclude that rapidly activated B-1 cells produce specific IgM Abs which, after local secondary skin challenge, form Ag-Ab complexes that activate complement to generate C5a. This stimulates C5a receptors on mast cells to release vasoactive substances, leading to endothelial activation for the 2-h DTH-initiating response, allowing local recruitment of DTH-effector T cells.
