Viral Infection Triggers Central Nervous System Autoimmunity Via Activation of Dual TCR-Expressing CD8(+) T Cells

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating, central nervous system disease mediated by myelin-specific T cells. Environmental triggers that cause a breakdown of myelin-specific T cell tolerance are unknown. We found that CD8(+) myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific T cell tolerance can...
