Regulatory T Cells and Allergy
Hanne Jarmer (CBS)
Type I Hypersensitivity
A normal reaction against parasitesTypical allergens:
- pollen- penicillin- nuts- milk- bee venom- mold spores
Early Last Century
“Hmm..., maybe we can make a vaccine?”
Portuguese Man of War
Poul Portier and Charles Richet observed:
Early last century
Early Last Century
1. time: No reaction
2. time: Got sick died
Immediate Hypersensitivity
anaphylaxis
Richet got the Nobel Prize
The Mechanism
The Regulation
- presentation (concentration/mode)
- TH1, TH2 and TReg
Several factors are important:
- genetics
The Regulation
The Naive T cell will differentiate into different subsets induced by different cytokines

The Regulation

TH1 TH2 TReg
IL-12
IL-4IL-10 ?
CD4+ T cells - The normal state
TH1 TH2
TReg
- Keeping the balance
The allergic state
TH1
TH2
TReg
- Out of balance
Three types of TReg cells
IL-10 TGF-
CD25
CD25 = IL-2 receptor (IL2RA)
TReg1 TReg2 TReg3
CD25+ TReg cells
- Low proliferative capacity
- Immunoregulatory properties
- Induction of tolerance (?)
- Antigen specific, cell-cell adhesion
Potential use inImmuno Specific Therapy (SIT)
... or the other way around - in vaccines
Microarray Project
The goal: Investigate the mechanism
find cure for allergy or an effective SIT
The plan: Find the responsible genes by the
use of carefully designed microarray experiments
