T cell receptor (TCR) peptide immunizations have been demonstrated to protect against experimental autoimmune diseases. These findings have led to clinical trials employing TCR peptides in multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis patients. Previously, we identified a strongly immunogenic region o
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by T cell-dependent antibody-mediated reduction of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) at the neuromuscular junction. Immunization of animals with Torpedo californica AChR (TAChR) results in an experimental model of MG. We used the variable regions o
