It was previously shown that BALB/c mice were susceptible to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induced by immunization with proteolipid protein (PLP). To determine the encephalitogenic epitopes of PLP in BALB/c mice, mice were immunized with

(SJL/J × PL/J)F 1 mice immunized with myelin basic protein (MBP) develop an autoimmune demyelinating disease termed relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (rEAE). The acute stage of disease is mediated by CD4 + T cells specific for MBP am

There is much evidence to implicate B cells, plasma cells, and their products in the pathogenesis of MS. Despite unequivocal evidence that the animal model for MS, EAE, is initiated by myelin-specific T cells, there is accumulating evidence of a role

Oral administration of a myelin component, myelin basic protein (MBP), induces immunological unresponsiveness to CNS Ags and ameliorates murine relapsing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (REAE). However, a recent clinical trial in which mult

Myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) is a prime candidate autoantigen for multiple sclerosis. In order to define potential immunodominant epitopes, T cell lines (TCL) from the peripheral blood of HLA-DR 15(2) MS patients were established which responded

Although multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and healthy individuals have similar frequencies of myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific T cells, the activation state of these cells has not been well characterized. Therefore, we investigated the dependence

Mutation of the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) gene in a T-cell is believed to be an indication that the T-cell has been activated and has proliferated in vivo. HPRT mutant T-cell lines were generated from peripheral blood mon

We previously reported elevations of interleukin 2 (IL-2) in the serum of patients with chronic progressive MS. Using gel chromatography, protein A sepharose affinity chromatography, and ELISAs for IL-2 and the IL-2 soluble receptor, we now demonstra

T cell activation involves not only recognition of antigen presented by the MHC, but also nonspecific interactions termed "costimulation." The costimulatory molecules B7-1 and B7-2 are ligands on antigen-presenting cells for the CD28 and CTLA-4 recep

Some bacteria that are common human pathogens produce protein toxins that are potent activators of human T lymphocytes expressing certain types of T-cell receptors. In this study we examined the ability of staphylococcal toxins to stimulate human T l
