Abstract excerpt
CD 4+ T cell lines responding specifically to Mycoplasma (M.) arthritidis were established from spleen and lymph nodes of a Lewis rat infected with M. arthritidis. The T cell response to M. arthritidis was MHC class II-restricted. M. arthritidis-reactive T cell lines also responded to syngeneic chondrocytes suggesting that M. arthritidis and chondrocytes may share a common antigenic structure. The T cell lines...
