Specific antigen—la activation of transfected human T cells expressing murine Ti αβ —human T3 receptor complexes

Abstract

The genes encoding the α and β chains of the T-cell receptor (Ti) of an antigen-specific, Ia-restricted murine T-cell hybridoma were introduced into T3-positive or T3-negative human T cells. The resultant transfectants express either mouse-human or mouse-mouse Ti αβ molecules functionally associated with the human T3 complex. Only the complete murine Ti aft dimer mediates specific functional corecognition of the appropriate antigen-la pair.
