The past year has seen advances in our understanding of the mechanisms that control the expression of organ-specific autoimmunity. Attempts to develop therapeutic strategies for the prevention of autoimmune disease have largely been based on deviation of the T-cell response away from an autoaggressi

The development of mouse models of human organ-specific autoimmune diseases has been hampered by the need to immunize mice with autoantigens in potent adjuvants. Even autoantigen-specific T cell receptor transgenic models of autoimmunity have proven to be complex as the transgenic mice frequently fa

Peripheral tolerance is considered to be a safeguard against autoimmunity. Using a TCR-transgenic mouse system displaying peripheral tolerance against a liver-specific MHC class I Kb antigen, we investigated whether the breaking of tolerance would result in autoimmunity. Reversal of tolerance was ac
