Abstract excerpt
Rt6 is a T cell-restricted GPI-anchored membrane protein and a member of the family of mono(ADP-ribosyl)transferases. One of the two murine Rt6 genes is deleted in NZW mice. This finding is reminiscent of the deletion of one of the TCR beta genes in the same mouse strain and it is an intriguing possibility that these gene deletions arose by a common genetic mechanism. The Rt6 locus retained by the NZW mouse...
