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

## Abstract Tโcell reactivity to candidate myelin autoantigens, such as myelin basic protein (MBP), may play an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Although MBPโreactive Tโcellshave been found to undergo __in vivo__ activation in patients with MS, their true precursor fre
Diversity of T cell receptor a and p chain genes expressed by human T cells specific for similar myelin basic protein peptide/major histocompatibility complexes\* Tcell receptor (TcR) a and p nucleotide sequences involved in the human autoreactivity to myelin basic protein (MBP) were studied by scre
