The specificity with which CD4+ T cells recognize self peptides in vivo was examined in transgenic mice that express an influenza virus PR8 hemagglutinin (HA) polypeptide in many tissues, including the thymus (HA Tg mice). HA Tg and non-Tg mice were analyzed for their T cell responses to the major PR8 HA I-E(d)-restricted CD4+ T cell determinant S1. Negative selection eliminated S1-specific T cells from HA Tg mice. Nevertheless, HA Tg mice retained the ability to mount a T cell response to a closely related analog of the S1 determinant [S1(K113)], and some S1(K113)-specific TCRs displayed a partial reactivity with S1 as indicated by their ability to transmit signals for IL-3 but not IL-2 secretion in response to the neo-self peptide. Moreover, the neo-self S1 peptide antagonized the ability of these TCRs to signal IL-2 secretion in response to the foreign S1(K113) determinant. Thus, TCRs that exhibit a partial reactivity with a self peptide are present in the peripheral T cell repertoire and can be activated by a virus containing an analog of the self peptide. These findings provide a model for the induction of autoimmunity by viruses that are close homologs of self peptides, and suggest a way in which TCRs could react with self peptides during positive selection of developing thymocytes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.
