Abstract excerpt
To study allelic exclusion of TcR genes we analyzed two types (I and II) of TcR beta transgenic mice. T cells derived from both types of mice contained similar amounts of transgenic RNA transcripts; however, surface expression of the transgenic beta chain was drastically reduced in type II compared to type I. In type I transgenic mice, productive rearrangements and expression of endogenous TcR beta genes were...
