Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induced in B6.C-H-2bm12 mice by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein: effect of MHC class II mutation on immunodominant epitope selection and fine epitope specificity of encephalitogenic T cells.

Abstract excerpt

The effect of the bm12 mutation on susceptibility to MOG-induced EAE, TCR repertoire and fine epitope specificity of the encephalitogenic T-cells, was assessed. prMOG35-55 was encephalitogenic for H-2bm12 and H-2b mice. Despite only minor differences in TCRVbeta expression and fine epitope specificity, H-2bm12/ and H-2b/prMOG35-55-specific T-cells failed to recognize Ab/prMOG35-55 and Abm12/prMOG35-55,...
