Resumen de Identifying environmental antigens that activate myelin-specific T cells

Brian D. Stadinski, Eric S. Huseby

• Human genetic and environmental factors underlie susceptibility to the T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis (MS). How the environment influences the pathogenesis of MS has been difficult to parse. A recent paper in Cell shows that environmental antigens that activate myelin-specific T cells can be identified with unprecedented accuracy.
