Encephalitogenic T cells can be isolated readily from naive or antigen-primed immune organs and propagated as clonal populations in vitro1. These T-cell lines have helped us to understand better epitope recognition, TCR gene use, cytokine patterns, and T-cell interactions with components of the CNS (ref.
