Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which lipoproteins accumulate, and cause an inflammatory response in the arterial wall. Immune responses to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox LDL) are proposed to be important in atherosclerosis. To study T cell recognition of oxidized LDL (ox LDL), T cell hybridomas from human ApoB 100 (huB100tg) transgenic mice were immunized subcutaneously with ox LDL. None of the hybridomas responded to oxidized LDL, only to native LDL and the purified LDL apolipoprotein ApoB 100. Unexpectedly, ox LDL immunized huB100tg mice developed T cell responses against native LDL and purified ApoB 100. The responding T cells were MHC class II restricted CD4+ cells and expressed T cell receptors (TCRs) that c...
