Abstract excerpt
BALB/c mice immunized with protein Ags such as OVA in adjuvant mount a Th1-type response. Inhibition of Th1 and development of Th2 cells can be induced by pretreating BALB/c mice with soluble OVA before priming. To investigate some aspects of this immune deviation in vivo, naive TCR transgenic T cells specific for the chicken OVA peptide 323-339 presented by I-A(d) molecules were adoptively transferred into...
