Abstract excerpt
Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy of rats which follows immunization with bovine type II collagen (bCII). T cell lines generated from arthritic rats have been shown to be self-reactive and proliferate in an autologous MLR, which is MHC-dependent. However, the peptides which drive this autoreactive response remain to be elucidated. T cell lines, generated initially to bCII,...
