Cellular immune reactions against the autoantigen myelin basic protein (MBP) are strongly implicated in the occurrence of postinfectious and postvaccination encephalomyelitis. Clinical autoimmune encephalomyelitis in experimental animals can be transferred with cloned MBP-specific cytolytic major histocompatibility complex Class II-restricted T lymphocytes. The HLA restriction pattern of specific proliferative and cytolytic functions of two human MBP-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte clones, derived from two different multiple sclerosis patients, was analyzed in detail. Using monoclonal antibodies against various HLA gene products and allogeneic Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cells as antigen-presenting cells and as targets for cytolysis, it was found that MBP-specific functions of the T cell clones was restricted by HLA class II antigens, and, more specifically, by molecules encoded for by DR locus genes.
