Cross-recognition of HLA DR4 alloantigen by virus-specific CD8+ T cells: a new paradigm for self-/nonself-recognition
18 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
The ability of CD8(+) T cells to engage a diverse range of peptide-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) complexes can also lead to cross-recognition of self and nonself peptide-MHC complexes and thus directly contribute toward allograft rejection or autoimmunity. Here we present a novel form of cross-recognition by herpes virus-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T cells that challenges the current paradigm of...
