| Primary Identifier | MGI:3621454 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(Tcra2C,Tcrb2C)1Dlo |
| Strain of Origin | (C57L x SJL)F1 | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | The transgene constructs encode a T cell receptor (TCR) that recognizes the Ld class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen SIYRYYGL peptide in the context of the H2b MHC class I molecule. Rearranged genomic cosmids containing the entire Tcra and Tcrb coding and promoter regions from the cytotoxic T cell clone 2C were isolated and coinjected into fertilized eggs. Transgenic H2b mice have large numbers of T cells in the periphery that express the transgenic TCR. In the periphery of transgenic H2d mice, T cells expressing the transgenic TCR are deleted. |
