Expression of Two T Cell Receptor α Chains: Dual Receptor T Cells

Padovan, Elisabetta, Casorati, Giulia, Dellabona, Paolo, Meyer, Stefan, Brockhaus, Manfred, Lanzavecchia, Antonio·1993·Science

Abstract

Although many T cells carry two in-frame V α rearrangements, the products of both V α rearrangements have never been shown simultaneously on the surface of normal cells. With the use of monoclonal antibodies to V α 2, V α 12, and V α 24, up to one-third of mature T cells expressed two V α chains as part of two functional and independent T cell receptors (TCRs). Thus, the "one cell, one receptor" rule does not apply to a large subset of αβ T cells. Cells that belong to this dual TCR subset may be specific for a broader range of antigens than cells with a single receptor, which may be important for autoimmunity and alloreactivity.

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.
