T cell clonal recognition of peptide ligands is highly diverse. To investigate how peptide mixtures with diverse sequences affect polyclonal responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), we synthesized Xn (n = 9-19) peptides that consist of 9 to 19 residues with random sequences. We found
Antigenic stimulation with exogenous soluble proteins induces cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) recognizing antigenic peptides presented on class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. Such CTL have been shown to lyse preferentially B cells expressing immunoglobulin receptors reactive with
## Abstract MHC class IIโpeptide multimers are a valuable tool for antigenโspecific detection of CD4^+^ Tโcells. However, it has been proposed that Tโcells in a hypoโresponsive state can have diminished binding of such multimers. In the present study, we investigated this phenomenon at the clonal l
