Vaccination with peptides from MHC class II beta chain hypervariable region causes allele-specific suppression of EAE.

Abstract excerpt

In our earlier studies we showed that successful immunotherapy of EAE in SJL/J mice can be achieved either by the use of antibodies to MHC class II antigens or by vaccination with synthetic peptide analogs of the beta chain of MHC class II molecules. We proposed that inhibition of EAE following vaccination with synthetic peptides derived from the beta chain of mouse I-A, was in part due to the generation of...
