Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules present peptide epitopes, derived from cytosolic and nuclear proteins, for recognition by CD8+ T cells. The vast majority of these epitopes are derived fro...

Signal transduction through the αβ CD3 T cell receptor (TCR) can induce vastly different cellular responses at different stages of T cell differentiation. The earliest form of TCR mediated signalling is seen i...

Chapter and Conference Paper
The molecular mechanisms involved in MHC-restricted antigen recognition by T cells are incompletely understood. For example, the strikingly precise ability of certain T-cell clones to distinguish very similar ...

Sharing of idiotopes between IgM and IgG antibodies has been taken as evidence for the integrity of V gene products transferred during isotype switching from μ to γ heavy chains.

T-cell clones that grow continuously in tissue culture have become a major tool for studying the properties of T lymphocytes. It is therefore important to know to what extent such clones resemble their normal ...

We have previously described a series of limiting dilution experiments in which several T-cell types of a number of different antigenic specificties were analyzed(1–5) In these studies, we obtained data on the pr...

Network regulation undoubtedly represents a major mechanism for the maintenance of steady states in the immune system. This is brought out by a large body of experimental evidence suggesting that every antigen...

Two congenic strains of mice were bred in Konstanz that bear theIg heavy chain allotype gene of the C57BL/6 (Ig-1 b ) in a BALB/c background genome. One line (CB-8K) underwent e...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The function of the immune system is based on a large variety of receptor molecules whose combining sites can recognize virtually every antigenic substance in the universe. This capacity is reflected in a pron...
