The magnitude and duration of CD8(+) T cell-mediated responses in the skin to hapten sensitization and challenge, contact hypersensitivity (CHS), is negatively regulated by CD4(+) T cells through an unknown mechanism. In this study we show that CD4(+) T cells restrict the development and expansion of hapten-specific CD8(+) T cells mediating CHS responses to 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene. In the absence of CD4(+) T cells, high numbers of hapten-specific CD8(+) T cells producing IFN-gamma were detected in the skin-draining lymph nodes on day 5 postsensitization, and these numbers decreased slightly, but were maintained through day 9, correlating with the increased magnitude and duration of CHS responses observed in these mice. In the presence of CD4(+) T cells, the number of hapten-specific CD8(+) T cells producing IFN-gamma detected on day 5 postsensitization was lower and quickly fell to background levels by day 7. The limited development of effector CD8(+) T cells was associated with decreased numbers of hapten-presenting dendritic cells in the lymphoid priming site. This form of immunoregulation was absent after sensitization of Fas ligand-defective gld mice. Transfer of wild-type CD4(+) T cells to gld mice restored the negative regulation of CD8(+) T cell priming and the immune response to hapten challenge in gld-recipient mice. These results indicate that CD4(+) T cells restrict hapten-specific CD8(+) T cell priming for CHS responses through a Fas ligand-dependent mechanism.
