Abstract excerpt
Mutant T cell lines that do not express the endogenous alpha- and/or beta-chain genes of the TCR were generated from the alpha beta TCR/CD3+ tumor cell line C6VL with a combination of classical mutagenesis methods and selection of somatic hybrid variants. This novel strategy obviated the need for repeated mutagenesis and screening of a large number of individual clones. The loss of either the alpha- or the...
