Stimulation of the T cell line from CBD patient 2 using nonrestricting DPB1 alleles. In the presence of 1 × 10-5 M BeSO4, the T cell line from CBD patient 2 was stimulated with various antigen-presenting cells not matched for this individual's DP or DR alleles. Stimulation also was inhibited by the addition of 10 μg/ml of anti-DP mAb. The stimulation indices for each of the various conditions and the molecular typing of the DPB1 and DRB1 alleles for each antigen-presenting cell are shown. Data are expressed as the mean cpm ± SEM.
