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.

Defective Thymus Development: A Cause of Combined Immunodeficiency

TL;DR: Observations of developmental flaws in lymphoid cell lines of immunodeficient infants provide insight into developmental pathways followed by immunocompetent cells in human beings and allow integration of this .
