Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is mediated by CD4 + T cells which preferentially use the Vβ8.2 TCR in response to myelin basic protein (MBP). Two strains of Tg mice (Vα2.3/Vβ8.2 and Vα4/Vβ8.2) have T cell receptors that recognize the NAc1-11 immunodominant epitope of MBP. We previously reported that oral administration of MBP protects both Vα2.3/Vβ8.2 and Vα4/Vβ8.2 mice from EAE; however, tolerance induction differs between strains and is dependent on the timing of oral antigen. Here we analyze the peripheral and gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) environments of the two strains of Tg mice. Tg cells in the Peyer's patch (PP) but not the spleen of Vα2.3/Vβ8.2 mice demonstrate increased CD69 and decreased CD45RB relative to Vα4/Vβ8.2 mice. High levels of Th1 and Th2 cytokines, proliferative activity and CC chemokines (MCP-1) are observed in the periphery and GALT of Vα2.3/Vβ8.2 Tg mice. In contrast, more non-Tg CD4 + cells are seen in the PP of Vα4/Vβ8.2 mice. These studies suggest that activated Tg T cells and fewer potential regulatory cells in the PP of Vα2.3/Vβ8.2 Tg mice may influence oral tolerance.
