A highly efficient new method for the generation of antigen specific T cell lines (TCL) is now available. By this method we established 134 myelin basic protein (MBP) TCL from the peripheral blood of 9 patients with definite multiple sclerosis (n = 69) and 8 healthy donors (n = 65). The yield of MBP reactive TCL in the two groups was comparable. So far 22 MBP specific TCL from 7 patients and 24 from 7 healthy individuals have been tested for their proliferative response to a panel of four synthetic peptides representing MBP residues 7-26, 80-99, 139-153 and 148-162. Although the peptide sequences did not encompass the whole MBP, the pattern of reactivity to these peptides in patients and controls seems to be similar. Further, when multiple TCL from the same donor were analysed, no dominant recognition emerged.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.

D004676 Myelin Basic Protein An abundant cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in the structure of multilamellar myelin. Myelin basic protein binds to the cytosolic sides of myelin cell membranes and causes a tight adhesion between opposing cell membranes.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
