Journal ArticleDOI
Complete primary structure of a heterodimeric T-cell receptor deduced from cDNA sequences.
TL;DR: Two related, but distinct cDNA clones have been isolated and sequenced from a functional murine cytotoxic T-lymphocyte clone and it is concluded that these genes code for the two subunits of the heterodimeric antigen receptor on the surface of the T cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
A third rearranged and expressed gene in a clone of cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
TL;DR: A third gene is identified that shows clonal diversity, codes for a polypeptide chain that contains immunoglobulin-like variable and constant domains, carries potential N-glycosylation sites and is a particularly attractive candidate for the gene that encodes the α-subunit of the heterodimeric antigen receptor of this T-cell clone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental regulation of T-cell receptor gene expression.
TL;DR: It is reported that whereas messenger RNAs encoding the β-and γ-subunits are relatively abundant in immature thymocytes, α mRNA levels are very low in mature T cells, suggesting a role for the γ gene in T-cell differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure, organization, and somatic rearrangement of T cell gamma genes
Adrian Hayday,Haruo Saito,Stephen D. Gillies,David M. Kranz,Gary Tanigawa,Herman N. Eisen,Susumu Tonegawa +6 more
TL;DR: The initial characterization of a novel family of genes that rearrange in T cells, but do not encode either of the defined (alpha/beta) subunits of the clone-specific heterodimer of the T cell receptor is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of a translocated human c-myc gene by an enhancer in the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus
Adrian Hayday,Stephen D. Gillies,Haruo Saito,Charles E. Wood,Klas Wiman,William S. Hayward,Susumu Tonegawa +6 more
TL;DR: A tissue-specific transcriptional enhancer element that is associated with the human immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus is defined and occurs within sequences shown to activate previously cryptic promoters of the c-myc gene.
