Contribution of direct and indirect recognition pathways to T cell alloreactivity
Abstract:SummaryT cells from an HLA-DRll/DR12 responder were stimulated in mixed lymphocyte culture with cells carrying the DR1 antigen. After priming, T cells proliferated in response to both DR1-positive-stimulating cells and a peptide derived from a polymorphic region of the HLA-DRBI*0101 chain presented by responder's antigen-presenting cells (APC). The dominant epitope recognized by the primed T cells corresponded to residue 21-42 and was presented by the responder's HLA-DR12 antigen. The DR1 peptide-reactive T ce… Show more
