How the adaptive immune system achieves self-non-self discrimination is not well understood, and in this article consideration is given to some of the quantitative aspects of this problem. In particular, the modification of the T-cell repertoire as a

CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells in mice and rats are capable of transferring protection against organ-specific autoimmune disease and colitis and suppressing the proliferation of other T cells after polyclonal stimulation in vitro. Here we describe the existen

Among peripheral T cells, the expression of CD4 and CD8 is almost mutually exclusive. However, here we show, using flow cytometric analysis, that ex vivo approximately 6% of rat T cells stained for both CD4 and CD8. These double positive cells were a

Previously we have shown that autoimmune diabetes, induced in rats by a protocol of adult thymectomy and split-dose gamma irradiation, can be prevented by the transfer of a subset of CD4+ T cells with a memory phenotype (CD45RC−), as well as by CD4

CD4+ T cell subsets are unequally distributed in rat secondary lymphoid organs. Those with the memory phenotype CD45RClow Thy-1− L-selectin− are present at a higher frequency in Peyer’s patches (PP) than in lymph nodes and spleen, and increase

We have produced T cell lines with a Th2 phenotype in the presence of IL-4 and the glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX). IL-4 and DEX together were more effective in inducing a Th2 response than IL-4 alone. Myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific Th2 lines

Two rodent models of autoimmune type 1 diabetes have been used to investigate the role of insulin as an autoantigen in this disease. In lymphopoenia-induced diabetes in the PVG.RT1u rat, neonatal tolerization with insulin B-chain peptides, but not A-

The present article describes procedures to measure rat IL-4 protein. The RT-PCR technique has been successfully and widely used to measure IL-4 mRNA, but it does not determine IL-4 protein synthesis. Assays to measure rat IL-4 protein based on its b

It is commonly accepted that a high level of antigen specificity is a feature of T-cell activation. However, here, Don Mason argues that a comprehensive response to foreign antigens requires that T cells are widely crossreactive, such that one cell r

The data in this article challenge the current paradigm that self tolerance among T cells can be fully accounted for in terms of intrathymic clonal deletion, anergy and T-cell ‘indifference’. We show that autoreactive T cells are under the contro
