The structure, rearrangement and expression of D beta gene segments of the murine T-cell antigen receptor 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
It has been postulated that the variable region of the beta-polypeptide of the murine T-cell antigen receptor is encoded by three distinct germ-line gene segments--variable (V beta), diversity (D beta) and joining (J beta)--that are rearranged to generate a V beta gene. Germ-line V beta and J beta gene segments have been isolated previously. Here we report the isolation and characterization of two germ-line D beta gene segments that have recognition signals for DNA rearrangement strikingly similar to those found in the three immunoglobulin gene families and in V beta and J beta gene segments. The D beta and J beta segments can join in the absence of V beta gene segment rearrangement and these rearranged sequences are transcribed in some T cells. 相似文献

Glucose phosphate isomerase of subperiodic Brugia malayi was studied by horizontal starch-gel electrophoresis. Two heterophenotypes, each represented by 3 bands of enzyme activity, were found among 38 parasites studied. This finding is attributed to the occurrence of 2 Gpi gene loci. 相似文献

Presence of T-cell receptor mRNA in functionally distinct T cells and elevation during intrathymic differentiation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Understanding the differentiation of functionally distinct subsets of T lymphocytes is essential to unravel their crucial role in the immune response and awaits knowledge of the assembly and expression of genes encoding the T-cell receptor. Recently, we have cloned and sequenced complementary DNA that may specify part of the human T-cell receptor. The deduced protein sequence showed extensive similarity to the entire length of mammalian immunoglobulin light chains. In addition, sequences corresponding to this message undergo somatic rearrangements and are assembled from non-contiguous genomic sequences into a single mRNA molecule, a mechanism similar to those found in the generation of immunoglobulin messages. A related molecule from the mouse was also isolated independently by Hedrick et al. Here we show that the putative T-cell receptor mRNA is expressed at a relatively high level during intrathymic differentiation before decreasing about 10-20-fold in normal, mature peripheral blood T cells and that it can also be detected in T-cell clones with helper and cytotoxic functions, as well as in at least one clone with suppressor properties. 相似文献

T-cell activation requires co-stimulation through receptors such as CD28 and antigen-specific signalling through the T-cell antigen receptor. Here we describe a new murine costimulatory receptor-ligand pair. The receptor, which is related to CD28 and is the homologue of the human protein ICOS, is expressed on activated T cells and resting memory T cells. The ligand, which has homology to B7 molecules and is called B7-related protein-1 (B7RP-1), is expressed on B cells and macrophages. ICOS and B7RP-I do not interact with proteins in the CD28-B7 pathway, and B7RP-1 co-stimulates T cells in vitro independently of CD28. Transgenic mice expressing a B7RP-1-Fc fusion protein show lymphoid hyperplasia in the spleen, lymph nodes and Peyer's patches. Presensitized mice treated with B7RP-1-Fc during antigen challenge show enhanced hypersensitivity. Therefore, B7RP-1 exhibits co-stimulatory activities in vitro and in vivo. ICOS and B7RP-1 define a new and distinct receptor-ligand pair that is structurally related to CD28-B7 and is involved in the adaptive immune response. 相似文献

Summary Multiple phosphoglucomutase (E.C. 2.7.5.1) alleles are found in the mosquitoToxorhynchites splendens. The sample studied reveals 3Pgm alleles whose frequencies are in good accord with Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The most frequent allele is that controlling a phenotype with an intermediate electrophoretic mobility. EachPgm allele determines a two-band electrophoretic pattern.This work is supported in part by a University of Malaya research grant to the senior author. 相似文献
