Abstract

CXJ1 mice are a recombinant inbred strain generated from experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) resistant BALB/c and EAE susceptible SJL/J progenitors. CXJ1 derive their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II and TCR genes from the BALB/c progenitor. However, their susceptibility to EAE is similar to SJL/J. Utilizing myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific CD4⁺ hybridoma clones and a MBP-specific T cell line (TCL) from CXJ1, we found the predominant T cell receptor (TCR) Vβ chain expression to be Vβ8 and Vβ13. Our data support the concept of preferential, but not exclusive, TCR Vβ usage in the MBP-specific response which is independent of MHC class II haplotype or immunodominant peptide.
