Nitrotyrosine is widely recognized as a surrogate marker of up-regulated inducible NO synthase expression at sites of inflammation. However, the potential immunogenicity of autologous proteins containing nitrotyrosine has not previously been investigated. Herein, we used the I-E(K)-restricted T cell epitope of pigeon/moth cytochrome c (PCC/MCC(88-103)) to assess the ability of T cells to recogn...
