摘要

If T cells require specific interactions with MHC-bound peptides during positive selection, then the specificities of T cells selected by one peptide should be distinct from those selected by another. We have examined positive selection of CD4 T cells in four strains of mice, each overexpressing a different peptide-1-A~b(A~b) complex. We show that a subset of CD4 T cells is selected by the overex-pressed peptide and that the specificities of the CD4 T cells, as measured by reactivity to wild-type antigen-presenting cells, vary greatly depending on which peptide is overexpressed. These differences in specificity are mediated through positive selection not negative selection. Each of the four peptide-A~b complexes appears to adopt a different conformation, and these differences correlate with the differences in reactivity. Our results suggest that individual peptide-MHC complexes positively select different subsets of self-MHC-reactive T cells and that the conformation of the peptide-MHC complex may contribute to this process.
