Abstract excerpt
The processing and presentation of whole myelin basic protein (MBP) and a 12 amino acid encephalitogenic peptide were investigated using MBP-immune and peptide-immune murine T cell lines. Myelin basic protein is the major component of central nervous system (CNS) white matter capable of inciting an autoimmune response which leads to the disease, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), in a number of animal...
