We did not confirm the preclinical presence of CD8+ T cells. However, the expression of different T cell markers positively correlated with patch test reactions. IL-9 expression was strongly upregulated and directly related to patch test severity. In addition, we showed that IL-9 has an anti-inflammatory role in a mouse model of PPD contact hypersensitivity.
