T-T cell interactions have been proposed in postulated network theories of immunoregulation and autoimmunity. Despite previous reports of protection induced by T-cell receptor (TcR)-derived peptides in experimental autoimmunity, no evidence for T-T cell interactions by direct recognition of processed TcRs on native T cells was obtained. Here we report that immunization of rats with overlapping sets of peptides of the TcR alpha or beta chain allowed us to detect immunogenic TcR peptides. Remarkably enough, these TcR peptides appeared to cluster within the hypervariable complementarity-determining regions of the TcR. Immunization of rats with these TcR peptides induced CD4+ TcR peptide-specific T cells, which recognized both rDNA TcR proteins and the original, arthritogenic T cell in a major histocompatibility complex class II-restricted way. These findings indicate that activated T cells can process and present their own TcR in the context of major histocompatibility complex class II molecules and, furthermore, that such peptides can be recognized by TcR variable gene-specific T cells.
