Objective. To characterize and clone T cells specific for type II collagen (CII) in a patient with relapsing polychondritis (RP) and to establish whether the immunodominant epitope of CII determined in HLA transgenic mice is used in the human autoimmune response to CII. Methods. T cell responses to
We assessed the naturally occurring T-cell immune response in primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumors from 12 unselected patients. A predominance of CD3 1 T-cell receptor (TCR)a/b 1 T cells was observed in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), in contrast with peripheral blood lymphopenia found i
