Human T cell receptor V beta gene polymorphism
Southern blot hybridizations with human T cell receptor V beta gene probes were used to determine the sizes of the various V beta gene subfamilies. An analysis of DNA samples from 100 unrelated individuals identified a single individual who lacked one V beta gene segment. A second individual had an apparently different repertoire of V beta gene segments in one subfamily, as assayed by hybridiza...
متن کاملDiversity of T-cell antigen receptor V beta gene utilization in advanced human atheroma.
Human atheromata contain T lymphocytes, but knowledge of the function and receptor specificity of these cells is limited. Immunohistochemical studies have established that T cells in advanced human carotid plaques express predominantly the alpha/beta form of the T-cell receptor (TCR). We then compared the use of variable region genes of the beta-chain (V beta) of the TCR for antigen by analysis...
متن کاملPositive selection determines T cell receptor V beta 14 gene usage by CD8+ T cells
We report here a mAb, 14-2, reactive with TCRs that include V beta 14. The frequency of V beta 14+ T cells varies with CD4 and CD8 subset and is controlled by the H-2 genes. Thus CD8+ T cells from H-2b mice include approximately 2.3% V beta 14+ T cells while CD8+ T cells from mice expressing K kappa include greater than 8% V beta 14+ T cells. In all strains examined, 7-8% of CD4+ T cells expres...
متن کاملSelf tolerance to T cell receptor V beta sequences
T cell tolerance to self is achieved by deletion or inactivation of clones recognizing peptides of self proteins presented by major histocompatibility complex molecules. A considerable fraction of self proteins accessible to the immune system is contributed by the system itself, for example, the receptors used for antigen recognition (antibodies and T cell receptors [TCRs]). Thus far, it has re...
متن کاملA genetically determined insertion/deletion related polymorphism in human T cell receptor beta chain (TCRB) includes functional variable gene segments
Polymorphism in the human T cell receptor beta chain (TCRB) gene complex includes haplotypes with different numbers of TCRBV genes. An insertion/deletion related polymorphism (IDRP) in the human TCRBV region was found to involve TCRBV gene segments. Inserted TCRB haplotypes contain an additional 21.5 kb in which three TCRBV genes are encoded, members of the TCRBV7, TCRBV9, and TCRBV13 families....
