Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Few data exist regarding mechanisms of mucosal CD8+ T-cell reactivity to epithelial-specific antigen. To dissect the immunologic mechanisms underlying CD8+ T-cell dysregulation, reactivity to a self-antigen expressed in intestinal epithelium of mice bearing a major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted T-cell receptor specific for this antigen was studied. In addition, antigen-specific...
