Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein‐35–55 peptide induces severe chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in HLA‐DR2‐transgenic mice
5 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
The use of HLA class II-transgenic (Tg) mice has facilitated identification of antigenic T cell epitopes that may contribute to inflammation in T cell-mediated diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, we compared the encephalitogenic activity of three DR2-restricted myelin determinants [mouse (m) myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-35-55, human (h)MOG-35-55 and...
