Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system mediated by CD4+ T cells reactive with myelin basic protein (MBP). Rats were rendered resistant to the induction of EAE by vaccination wiht synthetic peptides corresponding ot idiotypic determinants of the .beta. chain region and J.alpha. regions of the T cell receptor (TCR) that are conserved among encephalitogenic T cells. These findings demonstrate the utility of TCR peptide vaccination for modulating the activity of autoreactive T cells and representing a general therapeutic approach for T cell-mediated pathogenesis.
