Ex vivo analysis of thymic CD4 T cells in nonobese diabetic mice with tetramers generated from I-A(g7)/class II-associated invariant chain peptide precursors

The MHC determines susceptibility and resistance to type 1 diabetes in humans and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. To investigate how a disease-associated MHC molecule shapes the T cell repertoire in NOD mice, we generated a series of tetramers from I-A(g7)/class II-associated invariant chain peptide p...
