Abstract: Provided are antibody and antigen-binding fragment with modified C? and CH1 domains that still enable pairing of the C? and CH1 domains but have reduced pairing compared to wild type CH1 and C? domains without the modification. Such modifications can particularly useful for preparing bispecific antibodies which two different pairs of C? and CH1 domains.

Abstract: Cross-reactive T cells recognizing both MBP93-105 and HHV-61-13 peptides represent a significant subset of T cells with some degree of TCR degeneracy. It appears that the recognition of the cross-reactive T cells has a less stringent requirement for the flanking residues of the two peptides. In contrast, these flanking residues are critical for the T cell recognition of mono-specific T cells. The association between HHV-6 and autoreactive immune responses to MBP indicates that cross-reactive T cells, peptides from the V-D-J region of the T cell receptor from autoreactive T cells, and antiviral agents may prevent or treat MS.
