Abstract excerpt
Previous studies illustrated the influence of T cell subsets on susceptibility or resistance to demyelination in the Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) model of multiple sclerosis. Genetic segregation analysis showed a correlation with disease phenotype in this model with particular V(beta) genes. In this study we investigated the contribution of specific V(beta) TCR to the pathogenesis of...
