Abstract

Peptide binding and lymph node T cell activation studies have been used to characterize T cell recognition of an encephalitogenic T cell autoantigen from myelin basic protein in (PL/J x SJL)F1 mice. Amino acids that determine interactions with either the restriction element of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or the encephalitogenic T cell receptor are defined. This information enables the design of peptides that bind MHC yet do not cross-react with the autoantigen. A peptide analog of the encephalitogenic epitope is shown to be "heteroclitic" for MHC binding and activation of encephalitogenic T cells in vitro. This analog is not immunogenic for encephalitogenic T cells in vivo and is shown to inhibit disease that is induced by the autoantigen itself.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
