Expression of CD4+ or CD8+ determinants and ten different TCR V beta genes was analysed by two-colour flow cytometry in lymph node cells (LNC) of BALB/c and dm2 (a BALB/c Ld loss mutant) mice. TCR V beta 14 expression of CD8+ T cells and TCR V beta 7 and 14 of CD4+ T Cells were significantly more frequent in BALB/c than in dm2 LNC, whereas no differences were observed in the frequency distribution of TCR V beta+ CD4-CD8- double negative LNC from BALB/c versus dm2 mice. These results represent the first published evidence for positive selection of particular TCR V beta genes by individual MHC class I molecules in non-manipulated mice.
通过双色流式细胞术分析了BALB/c和dm2(一种BALB/c Ld缺失突变体)小鼠淋巴结细胞(LNC)中CD4⁺或CD8⁺决定簇以及十种不同的TCR Vβ基因的表达情况。BALB/c小鼠LNC中CD8⁺T细胞的TCR Vβ14表达以及CD4⁺T细胞的TCR Vβ7和Vβ14表达明显比dm2小鼠LNC中的更频繁,而BALB/c小鼠与dm2小鼠的TCR Vβ⁺CD4⁻CD8⁻双阴性LNC的频率分布未观察到差异。这些结果代表了在未处理的小鼠中,特定MHC I类分子对特定TCR Vβ基因进行阳性选择的首个已发表证据。
