Abstract excerpt
CD4(+) T lymphocyte clones, generated from mice immunized with the methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma Meth A (H-2(d)), are restricted by I-E(d) and recognize a unique antigen on Meth A. The antigen has been purified and characterized as the ribosomal protein L11. The antigenic epitope is contained within the sequence EYELRKHNFSDTG and is generated by substitution of Asn by His (italic) caused by a single...
