QUESTIONS ?
1) Phenotype of the Tregs primed upon tolerogenic conditions
2) How primed Tregs prevent the development of allergen-specific effector T cells ?
3) Which DC initiate tolerance? (role of Langerhans cells - collab. D. Kaiserlian)

POINTS IMPORTANTS
• La tolérance cutanée aux allergènes passe par un
  mécanisme actif de suppression due (en partie) à
  l’activation de LT CD4+ régulateurs (Treg)
• L’exposition permanente aux allergènes active les
  T reg et prévient le développement d’une allergie
• L’exposition aux allergènes de l’environnement
  maintient un état de tolérance cutanée
• Le traitement futur des eczémas reposera sur
  une immunothérapie spécifique capable d’activer
  les Treg et de ré-induire une tolérance
  immunitaire aux haptènes

Conclusions
• Immunogenicity
  – ID route allows seroconversion and seroprotection to flu in
    immune compromized patients unresponsive to other
    vaccination routes
  – Immune response is stronger for all strains and for all EMEA
    criteria
  – Proportion of patients responding to A/H3N2 is higher after
    ID than IM vaccination

• Tolérance
  – Tolerance profile of the ID vaccination is similar to IM
    (EMEA criteria)
  – Local reactions are more frequent and always benign
  – Systemic reactions are similar in ID and IM groups
