Abstract excerpt
We have introduced a full-length complementary DNA of the T-cell antigen receptor beta-chain into a mutant human T-cell line that lacked a complete beta-chain messenger RNA, had a diminished level of alpha-chain transcript and did not express surface T3- or antigen receptor. Expression of the transfected beta-chain led to a normal level of alpha-chain transcript and a structurally and functionally active T3...
