Abstract excerpt
Mice that lack the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Vav1 exhibit particular defects in antigen-triggered T cell activation but may have an autoreactive T cell repertoire due to impaired intra-thymic negative selection. MOG(35-55)-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was...
