Abstract excerpt
There have been several reports that xeno-MHC-restricted T-cells have a cytotoxic function through a direct xenoantigen recognition, but yet no report that they have a helper function. Previously we showed that both xeno-MHC-restricted CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cells recognized xenoantigens directly in a mouse anti-rat combination. In this study, we investigated whether or not xeno-MHC-restricted T-cells had a helper...
