Tg(Tcra2D2,Tcrb2D2)1Kuch

The Valpha3.2Jalpha18 region of Tcra from the 2D2 T cell clone as well as the Vbeta11DJbeta1,1 region of Tcrb from the same 2D2 clone were inserted into TCR expression cassettes. The linearized plasmids were injected into the pronuclei of fertilized C57BL/6 oocytes. The 2D2 clone was purified from C57BL/6 mice immunized with a peptide from myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). The amino acid sequence of the CDR3 region from TCR alpha is VYF CALRSY NFG and that from TCR beta is CASS LDCG ANP. (J:83278)
