Multiple sclerosis (MS) is widely accepted as an autoimmune disease with myelin basic protein (MBP) a candidate autoantigen. In the current report, human T cell lines specific for an immunodominant region of MBP were shown to have a functional phenotype similar to T helper 1 (Th1) inflammatory cells of the mouse on the basis of their antigen-specific cytotoxic activity and production of interferon-gamma and lymphotoxin/tumor necrosis factor-alpha, but not interleukin-4. In experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), a proposed animal model for MS, MBP-specific T cell lines which mediate disease are of the Th1 subtype. Thus, MBP-specific T cells in humans exist which are phenotypically similar to MBP-specific encephalitogenic T cells in murine EAE.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
D008233 Lymphotoxin-alpha A tumor necrosis factor family member that is released by activated LYMPHOCYTES. Soluble lymphotoxin is specific for TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR TYPE I; TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR TYPE II; and TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR SUPERFAMILY, MEMBER 14. Lymphotoxin-alpha can form a membrane-bound heterodimer with LYMPHOTOXIN-BETA that has specificity for the LYMPHOTOXIN BETA RECEPTOR.

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.
