Title: | MHC-RESTRICTED DEPLETION OF HUMAN MYELIN BASIC-PROTEIN REACTIVE T-CELLS BY T-CELL VACCINATION | Authors: | ZHANG, JINGWU MEDAER, Rob STINISSEN, Piet HAFLER, D RAUS, Jef |
Issue Date: | 1993 | Publisher: | AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE | Source: | SCIENCE, 261(5127). p. 1451-1454 | Abstract: | Activated autoreactive T cells are potentially pathogenic and regulated by clonotypic networks. Experimental autoimmune diseases can be treated by inoculation with autoreactive T cells (T cell vaccination). In the present study, patients with multiple sclerosis were inoculated with irradiated myelin basic protein (MBP)-reactive T cells. T cell responses to the inoculates were induced to deplete circulating MBP-reactive T cells in the recipients. Regulatory T cell lines isolated from the recipients inhibited T cells used for vaccination. The cytotoxicity of the CDB+ T cell lines was restricted by major histocompatibility antigens. Thus, clonotypic interactions regulating autoreactive T cells in humans can be induced by T cell vaccination. | Notes: | DR L WILLEMS INST,DEPT IMMUNOL,B-3590 DIEPENBEEK,BELGIUM.
