Abstract excerpt
The properties of a self-specific T cell's TCR that determine its pathogenicity are not well understood. We developed TCR retroviral transgenic, or retrogenic, models of myelin oligodendroglial glycoprotein (MOG)-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) to compare the pathologic potential of five H-2 Ab/MOG35-55-specific TCRs. The TCRs were cloned and retrovirally transduced into either...
