Murine Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) 1 is an enzyme which has the unique property of polymerizing deoxyribonucleotides onto a primer in the absence of a template (1-4) . Chang (4) first reported that TdT is present only in the thymus among various avian and mammalian tissues examined . Her finding was extended to humans by McCaffrey et al . (5), who found that the enzyme was restricted t...
متن کاملDetection of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase.
The recently published study of peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations in patients with acute immunodeficiency syndrome, by Murray et al,’ may have contributed additional insight into normal T cell ontogenesis. However, the data on terminal transferase (TdT) must be interpreted with caution. It is stated that TdT levels are especially elevated in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) of T cell o...
متن کاملAssociation of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase with Ku.
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) catalyzes the addition of nucleotides at the junctions of rearranging Ig and T cell receptor gene segments, thereby generating antigen receptor diversity. Ku is a heterodimeric protein composed of 70- and 86-kDa subunits that binds DNA ends and is required for V(D)J recombination and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. We provide evidence for a dire...
متن کاملTerminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase is found in prothymocytes
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase is an enzyme which has the unique property of polymerizing polydeoxynucleotides onto a primer in the absence of a template (1,2). This enzyme is found both in the thymus and the bone marrow of birds, rodents, and humans (3-7). Whether the marrow cells that contain terminal transferase are related to thymocytes, or are on a separate pathway of differentiatio...
متن کاملUse of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase in the diagnosis of leukemia.
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) was determined by immunofluorescence in 30 patients with leukemia. In acute lymphocytic leukemia the proportion of cells positive for TdT was 19 to 77 percent during relapse (12 cases) and less than one percent during remission (three cases). In seven cases of myeloproliferative disease and two cases of lymphoma, the TdT was less than one percent. In ...
