## Abstract H‐I and H‐II high antibody‐responder Biozzi mice, which express the H‐2^q^ permissive haplotype, were shown to be sensitive and refractory to collagen‐induced arthritis, respectively. To assess a possible role of T cell receptor (TcR) V~β~ gene deletion or polymorphism in the resistance
Previous studies of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in the LER rat have suggested that amino acid differences present in the LER TCR Vp8.2 chain may be associated with disease resistance. We report here that LEW rats bred to express a Vp8.2 gene from DA rats, identical to that found in
