Application to skin depleted of LC by treatment with the chemical carcinogen DMBA of a dose of contact sensitizer optimal for inducing contact sensitivity activates transferrable suppressor cells. Excision of solvent- or DMBA-treated skin at various times following application of the contact sensitizer DNFB indicated that the fraction of antigen which leaves the skin within the first few hours induces tolerance. An initial signal inducing unresponsiveness, observed within 1/2 hr, was overturned 3-6 hr later. A more permanent tolerogenic signal in the DMBA- but not solvent-treated lymph node resulted from an epidermal cell from DMBA-treated skin presenting antigen to suppressor cells. Therefore it is likely that suppressor cells are activated in DMBA-treated mice by an epidermal cell which migrates to the local lymph node. Local lymph node cells from DMBA-treated mice also have a diminished ability to present antigen in vivo but they do not activate suppressor cells.
