Antigen-specific suppression of a previously primed immune response is a major challenge for immunotherapy of autoimmune disease. RelB activation is required for myeloid DC differentiation. Here, we show that antigen-exposed DCs in which RelB function is inhibited lack cell surface CD40, prevent priming of immunity, and suppress previously primed immune responses. DCs generated from CD40-deficient mice similarly confer suppression. Regulatory CD4+ T cells induced by the DCs transfer antigen-specific "infectious" tolerance to primed recipients in an interleukin-10-dependent fashion. Thus CD40, regulated by RelB activity, determines the consequences of antigen presentation by myeloid DCs. These observations have significance for autoimmune immunotherapy and suggest a mechanism by which peripheral tolerance might be constitutively maintained by RelB(-) CD40(-) DCs.
