Tthyd, a new thymocyte alloantigen linked to Igh-1. Implications for a switch mechanism for T cell antigen receptors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tthyd is an alloantigen coded for by a gene(s) near the immunoglobulin locus on chromosome 12 in the mouse. This T cell-specific antigen may be the third member of a family of antigen receptors on T cells encoded by a cluster of genes in the IgT-C region. This antigen is preferentially expressed on thymocytes in contrast to Tindd or Tsud that are expressed on peripheral T cells. The hypothesis that T cell receptors undergo a switch in surface isotype upon maturation is discussed.

Modulation of Tthy alloantigen expression in the neonatal mouse. The Tthy-bearing thymocyte is a precursor for the peripheral cells expressing Tind and Tsu
The T cell alloantigen Tthyd appears on a subpopulation of thymocytes in mice bearing the Igh-1d or e heavy chain haplotype. Ontogenetic studies have suggested that this antigen precedes the appearance of two other T cell alloantigens in the same linkage group, Tindd and Tsud. The purpose of this study was to determine if the Tthy-bearing cell is a precursor for cells in the periphery expressin...
متن کاملa DETERMINANT ON THE ANTIGEN - BINDING CHAIN OF TaF
Recent serological analyses suggest that the antigen-binding molecule of certain T cells carries determinants that were originally defined on the variable region 0dH)1 of the immunoglobulin heavy chain. These include idiotypic markers linked to the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene cluster (Igh-1) (1, 2) and the framework determinants of V~ (3-5), In addition, genetic evidence showed that the exp...
متن کاملPresence of IgT-C and I-A subregion-encoded determinants on distinct chains of monoclonal antigen-specific augmenting factor derived from a T cell hybridoma
Monoclonal antibodies specific for mouse T cell alloantigens, Tindd and Tsud, linked to the Igh-1 locus on chromosome 12, were used to directly define the antigen-binding molecule produced by a cloned hybridoma. The T cell hybridoma, FL10, was established from antigen-binding T cells of A/J mice. FL10 produces an antigen-specific augmenting T cell factor (TaF) that bears a unique I region-contr...

The alloantiserum was raised in BALB/c (H-2d, Igh-1a) mice hyperimmunized with spleen cells of Igh allotype congenic mice, CB-20 (H-2d, Igh-1b). It was found to define the new allotypic determinants (distinct from B cell Igh constant region determinants: Igh allotype) expressed only on a small population of T cells belonging to the Thy-1 dull-stained Lyt-2- or Lyt-2+ population of Igh-1b mice. ...
