Deviated overexpression of TCR-beta, TCR-gamma, CD4, and CD8 on thymic lymphomas induced by 1-propyl-1-nitrosourea: destruction of the allelic exclusion of TCR-beta and expression of functional TCR-betagamma heterodimer on a lymphoma, cFTL53.

Abstract excerpt
Thymic lymphomas (FTLs) induced by the chemical carcinogen 1-propyl-1-nitrosourea (PNU) in F344 rats showed deviated overexpression of TCR-beta, TCR-gamma, CD4, and CD8. Even though most FTLs were in the CD4+ CD8+ stage, all FTLs expressed TCR-beta mRNA with TCR-gamma mRNA, but without TCR-alpha...
