Abstract excerpt
To investigate the contribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecules in susceptibility to inflammatory demyelination, we induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in transgenic (tg) mice expressing the HLA-DR3, HLA-DQ8 and HLA-DQ6 molecules in the absence of endogenous class II (Ab(o)). Following immunization with mouse myelin, HLA-DR3 tg mice mounted strong T-cell proliferative...
