Abstract excerpt
Murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a CD4+ T cell-mediated autoimmune disorder directed against myelin proteins within the CNS. We propose that variant peptides containing amino acid substitutions at MHC anchor residues will provide a unique means to controlling the polyclonal autoimmune T cell response. In this study, we have identified an MHC variant of proteolipid protein (PLP) 139-151...
