Figure 1.
Prevention of EAE by passive transfer of T cell lines specific for microbial mimicry peptides. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 5 × 106 T cells specific for either MBPp85–99 (□), HPV 13 peptide (⋄), Bacillus subtilis ORF peptide (○), or HSV VP16 peptide (▵). 10 d after cell transfer, mice were challenged for EAE by immunization with gpSCH. Results are expressed as mean disease score in groups of five animals.
