Abstract excerpt
One model to explain the high frequency of alloreactive T cells proposes that allogeneic MHC molecules are recognized together with host cell-derived peptides. A model system was developed to investigate the relevance of this mechanism by expression of H-2Dd or H-2Ld in 174xCEM.T2 (T2) cells. This human cell line contains a mutation in its Ag-processing pathway that should restrict the association of endogenous...
