The hyperresponsiveness of W/W(v) mice to oral sensitization is associated with a decrease in TCRgammadelta-T cells.

Abstract excerpt

We have already reported that WBB6F1-W/W(v) (W/W(v)) mice, which have mutations in the c-kit gene, are highly susceptible to oral sensitization, and that the proportion of TCRgammadelta-T cells among the intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) (gammadelta-IELs) of W/W(v) is much lower than in congenic wild-type (+/+) mice. In this study we examined an inhibitory role of gammadelta-IELs in oral sensitization using two...
