Abstract excerpt
Using a novel cell suspension model we investigated the relative abilities of nominal peptide and variants thereof to modulate de novo positive selection of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)-specific TCR transgenic T cells. Confirming our earlier findings intermediate concentrations (10(-7) to 10(-5) M) of the nominal agonist peptide, p33, induced CD8 co-receptor down-modulation at the level of the entire...
