Data from Elevated Frequencies of Self-reactive CD8<sup>+</sup> T Cells following Immunization with a Xenoantigen Are Due to the Presence of a Heteroclitic CD4<sup>+</sup> T-Cell Helper Epitope

Abstract: <div>Abstract<p>Immunization of mice with human dopachrome tautomerase (hDCT) provides greater protection against melanoma than immunization with the murine homologue (mDCT). We mapped the CD8<sup>+</sup> and CD4<sup>+</sup> T-cell epitopes in both proteins to better understand the mechanisms of the enhanced protection. The dominant CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell epitopes were fully conserved between both proteins, yet immunization with hDCT produced frequencies of CD8&l… Show more
