Book ChapterDOI

MHC-restricted cytotoxic T cells: studies on the biological role of polymorphic major transplantation antigens determining T-cell restriction-specificity, function, and responsiveness.

TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the important discovery that virus-specific cytotoxic T cells are dually specific for virus and for a self cell surface antigen encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).
Journal ArticleDOI

The rapid isolation of clonable antigen‐specific T lymphocyte lines capable of mediating autoimmune encephalomyelitis

TL;DR: These lines were found to recognize foreign or self antigens in association with accessory cells of syngeneic major histocompatibility complex genotype and it is possible to study biological function as well as antigen specificity using T cell lines.

The house mouse

Karl Theiler
TL;DR: The house mouse is a small, slender rodent that has a slightly pointed nose; small, black, somewhat protruding eyes; large, scantily haired ears, and a nearly hairless tail with obvious scale rings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thymus cell migration. Quantitative aspects of cellular traffic from the thymus to the periphery in mice.

TL;DR: Intathymic injection of fluorescein isothiocyanate is used to label thymocytes in situ and so can be used to quantitate the extent of migration of cells from the thymus to the periphery.
Journal Article

In a radiation chimaera, host H-2 antigens determine immune responsiveness of donor cytotoxic cells

TL;DR: The authors showed that host H-2 antigens do exert an effect on the specificity of T-cell responses, and that CTL from a normal mouse can respond quantitatively as well to antigen plus foreign H 2 in addition to self H 2.

Genetic control of cytolytic t-lymphocyte responses. I. Ir gene control of the specificity of cytolytic t-lymphocyte responses to trinitrophenyl-modified syngeneic cells.

TL;DR: The immune response (Ir) gene responsible for controlling the specificity of CTL induced to TNP-modified syngeneic cells Ir-X-TNP is termed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Mouse Major Histocompatibility and Rauscher Murine Leukaemia Virus Envelope Glycoprotein Antigens on Leukaemia Cells and their Recognition by Syngeneic Virus‐Immune‐Cytotoxic T‐Lymphocytes

TL;DR: High titre αR‐MLV gp70 sera had no effect in blocking syngeneic T‐lymphocyte mediated cytolysis of RBL‐5A cells whereas αaH‐2Db sera were effective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytotoxic T-cell response to ectromelia virus-infected cells. Different H-2 requirements for triggering precursor T-cell induction or lysis by effector T cells defined by the BALB/c-H-2(db) mutation

TL;DR: Results were interpreted to mean that H-2Dd-dependent, virus- immune T(c) cells recognized an antigenic pattern consisting of virus- specific and H- 2D(d) determinants with the latter borne on an H-3D molecule carrying serologically-defined H-1D(D) private specificities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistent and Slow Virus Infections

TL;DR: When you read more every page of this persistent and slow virus infections, what you will obtain is something great.

T Cell Deficiency in Mouse Allogeneic Radiation Chimeras

TL;DR: The T cell population is defective in allogeneic chimeras while A cells behave normally and B cells are present and functional in the spleen while nonspecific and specific factors are operating in inducing immunologic deficiency in Chimeras.
