The contact sensitivity evaluated by the car swelling test and the dynamic changes of epidermal Ia~+ dendritic cells (Ia~+ DECs) and Thy-1~+ dendritic cells (Thy-1~+ DECs) were studied in trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB) sensitized different age group C3H/He mice after challenge. A significant increase of ear swelling was observed between 6 h and 10 days of both 8~10 week(wk)and 40~48 wk groups; the ear swelling indices of 8~10 wk group were significantly higher than those of 40~48 wk group from 18 h to 5 days; a significant decrcase of the densities of Ia~+DECs from 18 h to 48 h, followcd by a gradual increase reachinga significant increase of the densities of Ia~+DECs from 5 days to 21 days in both 8~10 wk and 40~48 wk groups, was observed; the densities of Thy-1~+ DECs significantly decreased from 18~48 h, followed by a gradual increase reaching a significant increase from 5 days to 21 days in both 8~10 wk and 40~48 wk groups.In the normal control groups,a significant decline of both Ia~+DECs and Thy-I~+DECs in the 40~48 wk group was observed. Results suggest that contact allergy may be diminished in aged mice. On the other hand, like Ia~+DECs, Thy-1~+DECs seem to be involved in the prosess of contact allergy.
