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

H R MacDonald et al. Nature. 1988.

Abstract

T lymphocytes reactive with the product of the Mlsa-allele of the minor lymphocyte stimulating (Mls) locus use a predominant T-cell receptor beta-chain variable gene segment (V beta 6). Such V beta 6-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.
