Control of the severity of peptide-induced delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) by the number of antigen-specific pioneer T cells. The peptide-DTH reaction was induced by transfer of the indicated number of antigen-specific T cells into recipients, which were subcutaneously (s.c.) injected with ovalbumin (OVA)323–339 (OVAp)/incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (IFA) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)/IFA into the footpads. Footpad swelling was determined at the OVAp/IFA site (filled symbols) and PBS/IFA site (open symbols).
