Abstract excerpt
We describe the generation of ovalbumin (OVA)-specific, MHC class II-restricted alpha beta T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice. Initial attempts at generating these transgenic mice utilized heterologous regulatory elements to drive the expression of cDNA genes encoding the separate alpha- and beta-chains of the TCR. Unexpectedly, T cells bearing the transgenic alpha beta TCR failed to emerge from the thymus in...
