    Abstract A secondary in vitro response to alphaviruses Bebaru, Sindbis, and Semliki Forest is described. Optimum response appears at day 5-6 of culture. The cells responsible for lytic activity are nonadherent, Φ-positive, Ig(-), and mainly Ly-2.1 positive. Out of five haplotypes tested (H- 2 ( d ),H- 2 ( b ),H- 2 ( s ),H- 2 ( q ), andH- 2 ( k )) onlyH- 2 ( k ) was a responder. Genetic mapping of the response located it solely in theD region of theH- 2 complex. The other four haplotypes responded with a high antiself activity after a second stimulation with viruses. This antiself response also maps in theD region of theH- 2 complex. No complementation was observed in F(1) hybrids between responder and nonresponder strains.

  2. Article: Why do class I MHC molecules bind smaller peptides than class II MHC molecules?

    Abstract This article attempts to assemble theoretical-teleological argument to explore possible answers to the question of why class I MHC molecules bind smaller peptides than class II MHC molecules and the associated question of why the size of peptides binding to class I molecules is approaching the limit of the self-non-self discrimination. I propose that the small size of most class I-binding peptides precludes the production of 'MHC-restricted' antibodies. Such a strategy avoids the possibility of antibodies binding to the epitopes recognized by CD8+ T cells, thus blocking effector function required for clearance of potentially lethal infections.

    Abstract The evidence supporting the reverse transcriptase model of somatic hypermutation is critically reviewed. The model provides a coherent explanation for many apparently unrelated findings. We also show that the somatic hypermutation pattern in the human BCL-6 gene can be interpreted in terms of the reverse transcriptase model and the notion of feedback of somatically mutated sequences to the germline over evolutionary time.

    Abstract We have reviewed available data concerning the mechanism of somatic hypermutation in rearranged variable genes of Ig in B lymphocytes of mice and the gene conversion process which generates diversity in these genes in the B lymphocytes of chickens. In our view, these data are consistent with a unifying hypothesis of diversity generating mechanisms involving reverse transcription to produce cDNA from RNA transcripts followed by homologous recombination into chromosomal DNA. Thus, seemingly different processes in the mouse and chicken may have a common molecular basis.
