Team “Immunology of skin allergy and vaccination”
Our laboratory studies the role of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) as pivotal cells for the development of skin allergic diseases and as target cells in the development of new vaccines administered through the skin. 1. Pathophysiology of skin allergic diseases: CD8+ cytotoxic T cells are effectors and CD4+ T cells are
regulatory.
Eczemas (both contact and atopic dermatitis) and drug allergy are the consequence of the breakdown of immune
tolerance to allergens. Our team dissects the mechanisms by which allergens circumvent tolerance and promote
allergic responses, in both mouse models and in humans. We have shown that CD8+ CTLs are mandatory for the
initiation of skin allergic lesions, while CD4+ T cells are endowed with down-regulatory/tolerogenic properties.
In addition, we have developed in vivo or in vitro methods for the diagnosis of penicillin allergy and for
prediction of the sensitizing properties of chemicals. Our ultimate objective consists in developing new strategies
to restore skin tolerance to allergens.
2. New methods of skin vaccination
Skin is an outstanding route to stimulate robust immunity, especially to induce potent CD8+ CTL responses. In
order to optimize vaccine protection in the elderly or in immunosuppressed patients, our team focuses on the
development of intradermal (ID) vaccines (Lyon Biopole projects). Our main goal is to gain insight into the early
cellular and molecular events initiated by antigenic ID microinjection that condition the quality of the cellular
and humoral vaccine protection.
3. Management of the projects.
All our projects are performed at the interface of fundamental/translational/clinical research in preclinical
models in mice (INSERM U851) and/or in eczema and drug allergy patients (CH Lyon-sud). They also receive
the support of the Phase I-clinical research unit URSI-LS and of the biobank Allergobiothèque (Lyon Hospitals).
Of note, our team manages the drug allergy reference center for the Rhône-Alpes/Auvergne area.

Scientific projects
Since 1992, our studies have concerned the Skin Immune System and we have shown that the skin is an outstanding route to induce immunization but also tolerance. Our researches focus on the mechanisms of protective or pathological responses at the skin interface. Hence, two main topics are being/have been developed: i) skin allergy and ii) skin vaccination.
Axe 1: Skin allergy
1.1.Overall aim: To understand how skin allergies are initiated and develop, and to decrypt the molecular and cellular networks that promote either immunization or tolerance to allergens.
Project team “Immunology of skin allergy and vaccination” For numerous years, we have explored the mechanisms that govern the development of skin allergy, with a particular insight on two groups of T cell-mediated hypersensitivity reactions : i) contact and atopic dermatitis (eczemas), and ii) drug allergy, that comprise several diseases ranging from the frequent maculo-papulous exanthema (EMP) to the rare Toxic Epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS).
1.2. Project “Pathophysiology of Eczema/dermatitis and drug allergy” Contact/atopic dermatitis and drug allergy are induced through the repeated exposure of individuals to chemical (contact dermatitis, drug allergy) or protein (atopic dermatitis) allergens that are present in our daily environment. Our former works (studies/investigations) have shown that these pathologies are mediated by the infiltration and the activation of cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) into the skin. However, while contact/atopic dermatitis, as well as MPE, manifests mainly as benign and prurigineous skin eruptions, DRESS and TEN express as extended and life-threatening skin injuries. To date, why EMP/DRESS/NET patients develop such diverse clinical presentations remains an open question. Therefore, a major goal of our research is to dissect the factors that govern the severity of drug allergy. We will successively test for three different hypotheses: i) the severity of drug allergy correlates with the number, phenotype and diversity of cytotoxic lymphocytes that traffic in the blood of patients, and that are recruited at the site of drug eruptions, ii) the severity relies on intrinsic, unique and distinct functional activities of cytotoxic lymphocytes, iii) the skin and/or the infectious microenvironment conditions the magnitude of cytolytic functions of lymphocytes.
With the creation of the CIRI, we will investigate the bi-directional relationship that links the development of skin allergy and the infectious status of the allergic patient. Notably, we will examine how a latent infection impacts the onset and severity of drug allergy, and conversely, whether/how allergen (drug) exposure can prompt a potential viral/bacterial reactivation. Indeed, DRESS is an acute systemic inflammatory disease that affects the skin, liver or kidneys, following drug uptake, and it has been reported to be associated with Herpes virus reactivation (HHV-6, EBV). The role of the virus in the severity of the pathology is probable, but remains largely unknown. DRESS patients display robust activation of drug- or virus-specific cytotoxic T cells in the blood and the skin, as well as other organs such as the liver. Hence, we will analyze the respective role of drug- and virus-specific CTLs on the development of the pathology and determine the impact of viral infection on the priming of drug-specific CTLs. All the studies will be conducted in collaboration with: i) the Allergology department of Lyon-Sud Hospital (patients); ii) the biobank “Allergobiothèque” which collects the patients’ biological samples, and iii) the drug allergy reference center for the Rhone-Alpes/Auvergne area.
Of note, two supplementary models of investigation, illustrating the onset of drug allergy in infected patients, will also be addressed: i) cystic fibrosis patients, suffering from Pseudomonas pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus polyinfections, who frequently develop penicillin allergy ii) HCV patients who develop DRESS after Telaprevir (a specific inhibitor of a hepatitis C virus serine protease) treatment. Finally, we will establish a murine model that recapitulates the impact of drug uptake on the development of skin inflammation, in presence of viral infection/reactivation. Such models will serve as a platform to decipher the underlying molecular mechanisms.
1.4. Project « New diagnostic and therapeutic methods for skin allergic diseases» Alternatively, we will pursue our previous work on the development of new predictive approaches for the detection of allergenic chemicals, responsible for contact dermatitis or drug allergy. Along with our work on T cell responses, we will design new in vitro tests that allow the specific and sensitive detection of Bcell/mAb responses. Besides this, we will concentrate our efforts on the design and the understanding of new avenues to treat skin allergic diseases, and we will use either extracorporeal photochemotherapy, described as inhibiting the stimulatory properties of dendritic cells, or new glycolipids, that would stimulate the immunodulatory functions of NKT cells.
Axis 2: Skin Vaccination
Project team “Immunology of skin allergy and vaccination” 2.1.Overall aim: To improve vaccine efficiency using the skin as a route of administration In recent years, our team has capitalized on its expertise in skin immunization to work on the development of new vaccines delivered through the epicutanous/intradermal route (Lyon Biopole Microvax, Expand-ID and TB-Dermatest projects). In order to design optimized vaccines, we will continue to dissect the cellular and molecular networks responsible for the establishment of immune responses against pathogens, or tolerance to harmless antigens, after immunization through the skin, both in experimental (in vivo/in vitro) models and in clinics.
2.2. Project « Nanoparticles and vaccination » First, we will explore whether/how the use of nanoparticle-encapsulated vaccinal preparations proves a valuable strategy, versus the use of adjuvants, to boost the immunogenicity of vaccines (and promote potent CD4+/CD8+ cytotoxic and B cell responses). We will also analyse whether nanoparticle-encapsulated vaccines improve antigen-sparring, which remains one of the major economic concern of the vaccine industry. 2.3. Project « Prediction of vaccine immunogenicity» Next, based on our predictive in vitro approaches for the detection of contact sensitizers, we will design similar methods to evaluate the in vitro immunogenicity of vaccinal preparations. For peculiar infections, it appears more and more evident that protection correlates with a robust T cell response, notably CTLs. An in vitro method that could help to evaluate the ability of vaccinal preparations to stimulate CTL is of crucial interest. 2.4. Project « Immunosenescence and vaccination » Finally, we will focus on the establishment of immune responses in the elderly. Recently, we have identified a large cohort of over 65s/elderly persons who fail to immunize against several strains of flu vaccines, suggesting that functional defects relative to immunoscenescence prevent them from gaining protection. We will capitalize on this cohort of individuals to: i) define immunoscenescence markers, and ii) develop new vaccines that overcome the immunoscenesce-induced functional defects in the elderly.
