Background T-cell tolerance of allergic cutaneous contact sensitivity (CS) induced in mice by
high doses of reactive hapten is mediated by suppressor cells that release antigen-specific
suppressive nanovesicles. Objective We sought to determine the mechanism or
mechanisms of immune suppression mediated by the nanovesicles. Methods T-cell
tolerance was induced by means of intravenous injection of hapten conjugated to self-
antigens of syngeneic erythrocytes and subsequent contact immunization with the same …
