Region 65-102 of the myelin basic protein (MBP) houses a number of antigenic determinants known to induce delayed-type hypersensitivity, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), suppressor cell function, and antibodies. In this report we describe the biological activity of synthetic peptides S

A partially purified myelin basic protein serum factor (MBP-SF), cross-reactive with residues 65-74 (TTHYGSLPQK) of myelin basic protein, has been employed in an immunochemical study to identify the nature of the cross-reacting determinant more precisely. To probe the structural requirements of this
## Chemokine gene expression and chemokine activity appear to be major components of the immunopathological processes of inflammation and autoimmunity. To initiate an investigation of the role of chemokines in the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammatory demyelination, we examined the expression of
T-cell receptor (TCR) โค-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
