摘要: The human T cell receptor alpha (TCR-alpha) chain gene consists of discontinuous DNA segments encoding multiple variable (V), joining (J), and one constant (C) region. Unlike other immunoglobulin or TCR genes, however, the TCR-alpha locus exhibits an unusual dispersal J that occupy a region greater than 50 kilobases (kb) upstream C region, with exact size still unknown. We report here study genetic by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), which permits separation large fragments. Analysis prepared from normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells, endothelial B line demonstrates both V sequences are contained within single 400-kb SfiI restriction fragment. PFGE analysis Molt 4 suggests 600-kb deletion involving TCR- gene.
