Abstract excerpt
The association between the TCRalphabeta-CD3gammaepsilondeltaepsilon hexamers and zeta2 homodimers in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) constitutes a key step in TCR assembly and export to the T cell surface. Incompletely assembled TCR-CD3 complexes are degraded in the ER or the lysosomes. A previously described Jurkat variant (J79) has a mutation at position 195 on the TCR Calpha domain causing a phenylalanine to...
