A TCR heterodimer composed of a TCR gamma-chain and a TCR delta-chain was found to be expressed in association with CD3 by a small population of human peripheral blood T cells, thymocytes, and certain leukemic T cell lines. The leukemic T cell lines PEER and Lyon-1 express such a TCR-gamma delta/CD3 complex at the cell surface. In addition, PEER and Lyon-1 cells transcribe a productively rearranged TCR-beta gene. Introduction of TCR alpha-chain cDNA of human or murine origin resulted in cell surface expression of a TCR-alpha beta/CD3 complex on PEER and Lyon-1 cells. The expression of the TCR-gamma delta/CD3 complex on PEER cells was not affected by introduction of TCR-alpha cDNA. In contrast, introduction of a TCR-alpha cDNA and expression of the TCR-alpha beta/CD3 complex in Lyon-1 cells resulted in the disappearance of the TCR-gamma delta/CD3 complex. These data were confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence, at the protein level and by gene expression analysis. Triggering of the TCR-alpha beta/CD3 complexes by anti-CD3 mAb or anti-TCR mAb resulted in increased internal Ca2+ levels, indicating that these receptors were functional in signal transduction. These results indicate that, besides TCR gene rearrangements, membrane expression of TCR-alpha beta heterodimers may be important in regulating TCR-gamma delta cell surface expression.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION. Blast Transformation,Blastogenesis,Lymphoblast Transformation,Lymphocyte Stimulation,Lymphocyte Transformation,Transformation, Blast,Transformation, Lymphoblast,Transformation, Lymphocyte,Activation, Lymphocyte,Stimulation, Lymphocyte
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm
D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
