Virus-specific MHC-class II-restricted TCR-transgenic mice: effects on humoral and cellular immune responses after viral infection.

A transgenic mouse expressing MHC class II-restricted TCR with specificity for a lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) glycoprotein-derived T helper cell epitope was developed to study the role of LCMV-specific CD4+ T cells in virus infection in vivo. The majority of CD4+ T cells in TCR transgen...
