Abstract
The T-cell response to fibronectin attachment protein (FAP-A) in BALB/ c and B10.BR mice was examined. Both strains developed strong T-cell r esponses to FAP-A, directed to single, unique epitopes. T cells from m ice infected with Mycobacterium avium responded to FAP-A, suggesting a possible role in a protective immune response.
