    Inbred Lewis rats were sensitized with galactocerebrosides (GC) and hemocyanin. After 10 years lymph node cells (LNC) depleted of phagocytic cells were obtained. These cells were tested on mixed brain cell cultures enriched with GC-positive oligodendrocytes. Within 3--48 h of incubation, conjugate formation between LNC and oligodendrocytes was observed. Interaction of effector cells with their target resulted in defective oligodendrocytes. Anti-GC-LNC did not adhere to or lyse astrocytes or fibroblasts. Control LNC from rats sensitized only with the carrier protein did not interact with oligodendrocytes.

    T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection

    T cells are integral to our adaptive immune system, recognizing and effectively responding to foreign antigens. T cell activation and clonal selection are pivotal in orchestrating this immune response. This article elucidates these mechanisms, detailing the roles of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, costimulatory signals, and the process of clonal selection.
