Abstract excerpt
CD45, a receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase involved in lymphocyte activation, consists of five isoforms generated by alternative mRNA splicing. The pattern of CD45 splicing depends upon cell type, state of activation, and thymic development. We previously showed that mouse B and thymocyte cell lines transfected with a human CD45 minigene construct appropriately splice the alternative exons, demonstrating...
