Abstract excerpt
The alpha/beta T cell receptor (TCR) recognizes peptide fragments bound in the groove of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. We modified the TCR alpha chain from a mouse T cell hybridoma and tested its ability to reconstitute TCR expression and function in an alpha chain-deficient variant of the hybridoma. The modified alpha chain differed from wild type only in its leader peptide and mature...
