Abstract excerpt
HLA-B27- responder cells were stimulated in vitro with B*2705+ lymphoblastoid cell lines and alloreactive CTL clones were obtained by limiting dilution. Of the CD3+ CD4-CD8+ HLA-B27-specific CTL clones obtained, two of them, possessing the same TCR, cross-reacted with HLA-DR2. The fine specificity of these CTL was established with HLA-B27 and HLA-DR2 subtypes. They recognized the B*2701 to B*2706 subtypes, but...
