Abstract excerpt
Priming C57BL/6 mice with dominant antigenic peptides of ovalbumin (OVA) or bovine insulin (INS) in complete Freund's adjuvant generates antigen-specific, H-2K(b)-restricted, CD8(+) CTL. OVA-CTL produced type 1 cytokines IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha, whereas INS-CTL produced IL-5 and IL-10 with low levels of IL-4 and IFN-gamma. Here, we investigate whether differential binding affinities of the OVA and INS peptides to...
