High Frequency of Autoreactive Myelin Proteolipid Protein–Specific T Cells in the Periphery of Naive Mice: Mechanisms of Selection of the Self-Reactive Repertoire

The autoreactive T cells that escape central tolerance and form the peripheral self-reactive repertoire determine both susceptibility to autoimmune disease and the epitope dominance of a specific autoantigen. SJL (H-2s) mice are highly susceptible to the induction of experimental autoimmune encephal...
