During inflammation, T helper cells transiently express class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) glycoproteins and present antigens to other T cells. To assess involvement of self-antigens in the generation of T cell antigen-presenting cell (T-APC) activity, rat (R) myelin basic protein (MBP) was used to stimulate a rat CD4-CD8- T cell clone. RMBP induced T cell surface expression of class II MHC glycoproteins and T-APC activity, although RMBP did not elicit interleukin (IL-2) production or proliferation. When added to culture with the strong agonist guinea pig (GP) MBP, RMBP acted as a partial antagonist and inhibited responses of IL-2 production, proliferation, and T cell expression of B7.1. RMBP did not, however, efficiently antagonize GPMBP-induced I-A expression on T cells. These findings indicate that the self-antigen RMBP specifically induces accumulation of I-A/peptide complexes at signaling thresholds that inhibit pathogenic autoimmune responses. Overall, this study suggests a role for self-antigens in the generation of B7-deficient T-APC activity as a mechanism of tolerance in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
