摘要
Mice transgenic for SV40 T antigen (Tag) under control of the rat insulin promoter (RIP) develop two alternative immunological phenotypes: tolerance or autoimmunity towards Tag. We utilized the T cell receptor (TCR) genes expressed in a Tag-specific CD4+ cell from an autoimmune RIP-Tag mouse to generate two lines of TCR transgenic mice in which either 10% or 90% of peripheral T cells express the transgenic TCR. Where cross-bred to the tolerant RIP1-Tag2 line, mice from the low frequency TCR line showed partial deletion of peripheral Tag-specific T cells and nonresponsiveness of those that remained. In contrast, crossbred mice in which transgenic T cells comprised a majority of the T cell population were nontolerant both in vivo and in vitro. Thus, tolerization of CD4+ T cells specific fora rare self-antigen may fail if too many autoreactive T cells develop.
