Abstract excerpt
The use of altered peptide ligands (APL) to modulate T cell responses has been suggested as a means of treating T cell-mediated autoimmune disorders. We have assessed the therapeutic potential of TCR antagonist peptides in autoimmunity using murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) as a model. The Tg4 transgenic mouse expresses an MHC class II-restricted TCR specific for the immunodominant...
