Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of self-tolerance in the CD4(+) T cell compartment was examined in a double transgenic (Tg) model in which T cell receptor (TCR)-alpha/beta Tg mice with specificity for the COOH-terminal peptide of moth cytochrome c in association with I-Ek were crossed with antigen Tg mice. Partial deletion of cytochrome-reactive T cells in the thymus allowed some self-specific CD4(+) T cells to be selected into...
