    C12N 1500
  • US Classification:
    530323
  • Abstract:
    Disclosed is a heterodimeric T lymphocyte receptor comprising an alpha and a beta subunit. Each subunit consists of a signal peptide, variable, joining, constant, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic regions. The two subunits are connected by a disulfide bond between cysteine residues located between the constant and transmembrane region. The structure, amino acid, and nucleotide sequence of the lymphocyte receptor were determined using CDNA clones derived from a functional murine cytotoxic T lymphocyte clone. The genes corresponding to these cDNA are expressed and rearranged specifically in T cells and have significant sequence homologies to immunoglobulin V and C genes. Both the T cell receptor protein and its subunits may be produced from the cDNA clones. The protein molecules may be further used for the production of T-cell clone specific antibodies.
