Experimental Allergic Encephatomyetitis (EAE) is a neuroinftammatory, autoimmune disorder in which myetin-reactive Th1 T cells with a restricted TCRV beta repertoire play a pathogenic role. Here, I show that an engineered single-chain TCR containing dominant TCRV alpha/V beta encephatitogenic elements, when administered in aluminum adjuvant, generates a marked anti-TCR humoral response that correlated with protection against the development of EAE in V beta 8-expressing B10.PL but not in V beta 8-deficient SJL mice. sc-TCR/Al vaccination was highly efficient in preventing murine EAE in a TCR-specific manner through a mechanism involving anti-TCR B cells and/or antibodies. Collectively, these data have important implications for designing preventive or therapeutic strategies combining TCR vaccination with the use of aluminum adjuvant in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and other human autoimmune inflammatory diseases.
