ABSTRACT

T-cell tolerance to the minor lymphocyte-

We have generated a Vp8.1' 3-chain transgenic mouse and genetically introduced the corresponding self-superantigen, Mls-1a, in order to study mechanisms of tolerance. Whereas virtually all T cells expressed V,98.1,

Altered antigen receptor signaling in anergic T cells from self-tolerant T-cell receptor beta-chain transgenic mice.

T-cell tolerance to the minor lymphocyte-stimulating antigen Mls-1a in a T-cell receptor (TcR) V beta 8.1 transgenic line of mice is maintained by bot...
