Abstract excerpt
The in vitro response of unprimed rat T cells to retroviral and bacterial superantigens (SAg) was analyzed with TCR V beta 8.2-, 8.5-, 10-, and 16-specific mAbs. Specific stimulation of V beta 8.2 and 8.5 CD4 cells was observed in the response to Mls1a, the retroviral SAg encoded by integrated provirus Mtv-7 (Mtv-7 SAg), which was presented by mouse B cells or mouse fibroblasts transfected with DR1 genes and the...
