Abstract:
Although the pathogenic role of B cells and CD4 T cells has been studied extensively, less is known about the role of CD8 T cells in autoimmunity and self-tolerance. To evaluate the role of CD8 T cells in autoimmunity and its modulation using self-peptides, we used mice expressing soluble OVA (sOVA) under control of the keratin-14 promoter. Spontaneous autoimmunity occurred when sOVA mice were crossed with OT-I mice, whose CD8 T cells carry a Valpha2/Vbeta5-transgenic TCR with specificity for th...     »
