Abstract excerpt
Under most circumstances, allelic exclusion at the T cell receptor (TCR)beta locus is tightly regulated. Here, we describe a system in which TCRbeta allelic exclusion is overcome as a result of V(D)J recombination in peripheral CD4+ T cells. In TCRbeta chain transgenic mice, tolerogen-mediated chronic peripheral selection against cells expressing the transgene leads to surface expression of endogenous TCRbeta...
