In data-sets derived from the Finnish population we found no evidence for contribution of the T-cell receptor beta chain (TCR beta chromosome 7q35), immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH chromosome 14q32), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma chromosome 12q14-q15) or interleukin-1 receptor antagonist/interleukin-1 beta (IL-1ra/IL-1 beta chromosome 2q14-q21) loci in the genetic susceptibility to MS.

Of the CDR2 peptides, the substituted (Y49T)BV5S2-38-58 peptide was the most immunogenic but cross-reacted with the native sequence and had the strongest binding affinity for MS-associated HLA-DR2 alleles, suggesting that position 49 is an MHC rather than a TCR contact residue.

In order to establish whether such T cell responses are likely to be antigen-specific particularly with regard to myelin basic protein (MBP), we analysed T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements directly from MS brain plaques, using the polymerase chain reaction on reverse transcribed messenger RNA, and compared these with TCR of previously described MBP-specific T cell clones from MS and the rat model experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.
