Figure 1.
Two subsets of CD1d-autoreactive T cells. Residual CD4+ cells in the spleen of MHC II−/− mice were enriched by panning against CD8 and Ig, sorted into NK1.1-positive and -negative subsets, activated for 5 d with anti-CD3 and IL-2 in vitro, and fused with BW5147αβ− to obtain T hybridomas. Individual hybridomas were screened for CD1d-autoreactivity and for Vα14-Jα281 rearrangement.
