Mucosal T cells induce systemic anergy for oral tolerance.
description:
Intravenous and oral (2X weekly) immunizations with the epitope induced epitope-specific serum IgG responses. However, when the mice were fed the epitope (peptide) four times weekly, the serum IgG responses were suppressed (oral tolerization). Mice fed the epitope (peptide) developed enhanced fecal IgA responses specific for the epitope which remained even after four consecutive feedings (data not shown). These results indicate systemic unresponsiveness to the antigen with multiple feedings but the mucosal response remains unaltered.
