T-cell recognition of myelin basic protein

K W Wucherpfennig et al. Immunol Today. 1991 Aug.

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system which has been hypothesized to be autoimmune in nature. To test whether this is the case, Kai Wucherpfennig and colleagues have developed a set of criteria that must be met to satisfy the hypothesis. Here, they present these criteria and assess the extent to which studies to date satisfy them.
