Abstract
T cell hybridomas of (B10 × B10.BR)F1 genotype with reactivity to bovine insulin (BI) were established to analyze the restriction and antigen fine specificity of (H‐2b × H‐2k)F1 T cells towards BI. Our data indicate a focusing of the response on two epitopes on the insulin molecule, the A chain loop determinant comprising amino acids A8 and A10, as well as the glutamic acid residue in position 4 of the A chain. Both were recognized either separately or in conjunction. Unexpectedly, the T cell hybridomas exhibited a marked preference for recognizing insulin in the context of F1‐unique restriction elements of A A type rather than parental high‐responder I‐Abmolecules. Analysis of the response of primed lymph node T cells of (B10 × B10.BR)F1 mice towards BI corroborated the finding of a preponderant corecognition of F1unique I‐A molecules.This publication has 33 references indexed in Scilit:
