The generation of encephalitogenic T cell lines from experimental allergic encephalomyelitis-resistant strains of mice

While only a few strains of mice are susceptible to the primary induction or passive transfer of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), the basis of EAE resistance remains unclear. In the present studies, we have defined two approaches that allow for the generation of encephalitogenic, myelin basic protein-reactive, T cell lines from EAE-resistant strains of mice. The first approach, based on the putative relevance of apoptosis to autoimmune disease, involves repeat antigenic stimulation of recently initiated T cell lines. The second approach involves the initiation of lymph node cultures in the absence of exogenous splenocytes as antigenic- presenting cells and the use of a higher antigen concentration. Both approaches lead to the generation of encephalitogenic T cell lines from EAE-resistant mouse strains and will be useful for identifying factors relevant to the pathogenesis of EAE.
