The antibody-mediated inhibition of CD4+ or CD8+ TRM cell formation in healed ears does not suppress the local skin memory response. (A) BALB/c mice were sensitized on back skin and anti-CD4 (GK1.5) or CD8α (53–6.7) mAbs were injected on the indicated days in order to inhibit the accumulation of effector CD4+ or CD8+ T cells in inflamed ear skin during the 1st contact hypersensitivity. Phosphate-buffered saline was injected as a control. (B) Ear swelling upon sensitization + the 1st challenge and re-challenge (n = 6–7 each group). (C) The numbers of CD3ε+, CD4+, and CD8αβ+ cells along the cartilage in ear skin sections on day 35 as assessed by immunohistochemistry (n = 4 each group). Data represent means ± SE. *P < 0.05 (two-tailed paired t-test).
