Abstract excerpt
This study demonstrates that CD4(+) T cells specific for an altered self-antigen differentiate to T cells secreting transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1. In this study, we utilized mice expressing an altered peptide ligand containing a single amino acid substitution of moth cytochrome c 88-103 peptide. In these mice, antigen-specific T cells escaping thymic negative selection differentiated into T cells with an...
