The restriction enzyme Eco RI reveals DNA cleavage sites that serve to distinguish the gene locus believed to encode the beta subunit of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted, antigen-specific receptor of the T cell in BALB/c mice from that of SJL/J mice. A monoclonal antibody, KJ16-133, also distinguishes BALB/c and SJL/J, because it recognizes an allotypic marker present on a cell-surface heterodimer believed to function as the MHC-restricted, antigen-specific T cell receptor. This study has shown that these two markers cosegregate in a set of BALB/c X SJL/J recombinant inbred (RI) mouse strains, permitting the conclusion that they are linked to within 3 centimorgans of each other, and to the kappa locus on chromosome 6. The tight linkage between these independently derived, totally different T cell markers substantially strengthens the argument that they characterize the MHC-restricted antigen-specific receptor of the effector T cell.
限制性内切酶Eco RI可揭示DNA切割位点,这些位点可用于区分BALB/c小鼠和SJL/J小鼠中被认为编码主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)限制性、抗原特异性T细胞受体β亚基的基因位点。单克隆抗体KJ16 - 133也可区分BALB/c和SJL/J,因为它能识别细胞表面异二聚体上存在的一种同种异型标记,该异二聚体被认为是作为MHC限制性、抗原特异性T细胞受体发挥作用。这项研究表明,这两个标记在一组BALB/c×SJL/J重组近交(RI)小鼠品系中共同分离,从而得出结论:它们彼此之间的距离在3厘摩以内,并且与6号染色体上的κ位点相连。这些独立获得的、完全不同的T细胞标记之间的紧密连锁大大加强了这样的论点,即它们表征了效应T细胞的MHC限制性抗原特异性受体。
