Gene placement and competition control T cell receptor γ variable region gene rearrangement
The production of distinct sets of T cell receptor (TCR) gammadelta(+) T cells occurs in an ordered fashion in thymic development. The Vgamma3 and Vgamma4 genes, located downstream in the TCRgamma Cgamma1 gene cluster, are expressed by the earliest waves of developing TCRgammadelta(+) T cells in the fetal thymus, destined for intraepithelial locations. Upstream Vgamma2 and Vgamma5 genes are exp...
متن کاملInterleukin 7 Receptor Control of T Cell Receptor γ Gene Rearrangement: Role of Receptor-associated Chains and Locus Accessibility
VDJ recombination of T cell receptor and immunoglobulin loci occurs in immature lymphoid cells. Although the molecular mechanisms of DNA cleavage and ligation have become more clear, it is not understood what controls which target loci undergo rearrangement. In interleukin 7 receptor (IL-7R)alpha-/- murine thymocytes, it has been shown that rearrangement of the T cell receptor (TCR)-gamma locus...
متن کاملT Cell Receptor P-Chain Gene Rearrangement without y-Chain Gene Rearrangement in Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma: An Unusual Finding’
T cells from the blood and skin of a patient with cutaneous T cell lymphoma demonstrated rearrangement of the T cell receptor S-chain gene in the absence of rearrangement of the y-chain gene. To our knowledge, this has not been previously reported. This finding was unexpected in light of prevailing concepts of T cell ontogeny. Potential explanations for it are discussed. 6 1990 Academic PESS, IK.
متن کاملStochastic Modeling of T cell receptor g gene rearrangement
The mechanisms controlling the recombination process of the g genes that encode the g chain of the antigen receptor of the gd T lymphocytes are unclear. Based on experimental data on the recombination status of the two major TCR g genes expressed in V g4þ and V g1þ thymocytes, we tested the plausibility of three possible rearrangement mechanisms: (1) a time window mechanism according to which t...
متن کاملRefractory case of ALK-negative anaplastic large-cell lymphoma with PAX-5 expression and T-cell receptor-γ gene rearrangement.
Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare T-cell lymphoma consisting of lymphoid cells that are usually bizarre and large CD30-positive cells with abundant cytoplasm and pleomorphic nuclei. At present, two types of ALCL are recognized, that is, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)positive ALCL (ALCL, ALK ) and ALK-negative ALCL (ALCL, ALK−), although they are not morphologically distinguishab...
