Abstract excerpt
Recent studies in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis as a model for multiple sclerosis (MS) have demonstrated limited heterogeneity in T-cell antigen receptors (TCR) specific for myelin basic protein (MBP). To investigate restricted beta-chain variable-region (V beta) gene usage in humans, we analyzed TCR gene rearrangements in two lines and 34 MBP-specific T-cell clones that were isolated from five MS...
