Gammadelta T cells suppress airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) induced in allergen-challenged mice but it is not clear whether the suppression is allergen specific. The AHR-suppressive cells express TCR-Vgamma4. To test whether the suppressive function must be induced, we adoptively transferred purified Vgamma4(+) cells into gammadelta T cell-deficient and OVA-sensitized and -challenged recipients (B6.TCR-Vgamma4(-/-)/6(-/-)) and measured the effect on AHR. Vgamma4(+) gammadelta T cells isolated from naive donors were not AHR-suppressive, but Vgamma4(+) cells from OVA-stimulated donors suppressed AHR. Suppressive Vgamma4(+) cells could be isolated from lung and spleen. Their induction in the spleen required sensitization and challenge. In the lung, their function was induced by airway challenge alone. Induction of the suppressors was associated with their activation but it did not alter their ability to accumulate in the lung. Vgamma4(+) gammadelta T cells preferentially express Vdelta4 and -5 but their AHR-suppressive function was not dependent on these Vdeltas. Donor sensitization and challenge not only with OVA but also with two unrelated allergens (ragweed and BSA) induced Vgamma4(+) cells capable of suppressing AHR in the OVA-hyperresponsive recipients, but the process of sensitization and challenge alone (adjuvant and saline only) was not sufficient to induce suppressor function, and LPS as a component of the allergen was not essential. We conclude that AHR-suppressive Vgamma4(+) gammadelta T cells require induction. They are induced by allergen stimulation, but AHR suppression by these cells does not require their restimulation with the same allergen.
