T-cell receptor Vβ use predicts reactivity and tolerance to Mlsa- encoded antigens

Nature volume 332, pages 40–45 (1988)Cite this article

Abstract

T lymphocytes reactive with the product of the Mlsa-allele of the minor lymphocyte stimulating (Mls) locus use a predominant T-cell receptor β-chain variable gene segment (Vβ6). Such Vβ6-bearing T cells are selectively eliminated in the thymus of Mlsa-bearing mice, consistent with a model in which tolerance to self antigens is achieved by clonal deletion.
