Polymerase Chain Reaction with Single-Sided Specificity: Analysis of T Cell Receptor δ Chain

Loh, Elwyn Y., Elliott, John F., Cwirla, Steve, Lanier, Lewis L., Davis, Mark M.·1989·Science

Abstract

In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), two specific oligonucleotide primers are used to amplify the sequences between them. However, this technique is not suitable for amplifying genes that encode molecules where the 5′ portion of the sequences of interest is not known, such as the T cell receptor (TCR) or immunoglobulins. Because of this limitation, a novel technique, anchored polymerase chain reaction (A-PCR), was devised that requires sequence specificity only on the 3′ end of the target fragment. It was used to analyze TCR δ chain mRNA's from human peripheral blood γδ T cells. Most of these cells had a Vδ gene segment not previously described (V δ 3), and the δ chain junctional sequences formed a discrete subpopulation compared with those previously reported.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
