T-cell receptor (TCR) -chain usage in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) seems to be much more heterogeneous than previously assumed even for a single autoantigen in an inbred animal strain. Owing to the lack of suitable antibodies, this has been demonstrated only at the RNA level so f
## Abstract Using a primary limiting dilution approach to generate T cell lines, we compared myelin basic protein (MBP)‐specific T cell clones from naive unprimed Lewis rat thymuses with the corresponding T cell repertoire of primed rats. We found that in the naive thymus repertoire MBP‐specific, e
The nature of the autoimmune T cell response to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), recently recognized as a potential target antigen in multiple sclerosis (MS), has not yet been characterized, in contrast to theT cell reactivity to other potential target antigens in MS such as myelin basic p
