Abstract excerpt
An experimental system was established to study in vivo T-cell receptor alpha beta (TCR) mutations in murine CD4+ T-lymphocytes. The frequency of TCR-defective mutant T-cells that have the CD3-4+ surface phenotype, was measured using two-color flow cytometry of splenic T-cells passed through nylon wool. The spontaneous TCR mutant frequency (MF) in BALB/c mice (2.3 x 10(-4)) was significantly lower than the...
