Abstract excerpt
A panel of 17 myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific T lymphocyte clones were generated from four multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. All T cell clones expressed CD4 phenotype and 14 clones exhibited substantial cytotoxic activity on MBP-coated target cells. T cell recognition sites of the clones on human MBP were identified by using MBP fragments and synthetic peptides. Despite the fact that at least three epitopes...
