Abstract excerpt
Synthetic TCR peptides expressed by encephalitogenic T cells can induce both cellular and humoral responses that protect against experimental encephalomyelitis. In the Lewis rat, encephalitogenic T cells predominantly express V beta 8.2, and a peptide in the CDR2 region representing residues 39-59 could both protect against and treat experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE). Similarly, the homologous and cross...
