Abstract excerpt
T cells from most human subjects show significant in vitro proliferative responses to a 185-kDa surface Ag from Streptococcus mutans as well as to synthetic peptides derived from the sequence of a Mr 3800 streptococcal Ag. T cells from subjects expressing each of the alleles from DR1 to DR7 responded to synthetic peptides of 17 or 21 amino acid residues. Furthermore, inhibition studies with mAb to HLA class I and...
