Although a family study has suggested linkage of susceptibility to MS to TcR genes, reports of disease associations with restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-defined alleles of TcR genes have been difficult to confirm, including a report of association of MS with TcR beta-chain gene RFLPs.

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.

The accumulation of activated T-cells in demyelinating MS lesions, the possible auto-immune mechanism of this disease and the functional relationship between MHC and T cell receptor (TCR) molecules support the hypothesis that TCR genes are good candidates to influence MS development.

Here, we validate these cellular immune responses by characterizing TCR peptide specific T cells from an MS patient with biased V beta 5.2 expression in BP reactive T cells before treatment with TCR peptides, and from two MS patients in whom the frequencies of anti-TCR peptide specific T cells were significantly boosted after injection with low doses of TCR peptides.

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.
