Hussey, Clayton, Diener, McConkey, Howard, Rodewald, DAdamio, Dallenbach, Stein, Schmidt: "Overexpression of CD3 eta during thymic development does not alter the negative selection process." in: Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), Vol. 150, Issue 4, pp. 1183-94, (1993) (PubMed).
The T-cell receptor (TCR), expressed by thymus-derived lymphocytes, is a multicomponent complex responsible for recognizing antigen in the context of MHC molecules. Ti is the antigen-specific binding component of the TCR. On the majority of peripheral T lymphocytes, Ti is present as a disulfide-linked alpha-beta heterodimer. A minor fraction express Ti as a gamma-delta heterodimer. The Ti subunits are Ig-like, each containing V and C regions. Ti is noncovalently associated with an invariant set of molecules referred to as the CD3 subunits. CD3 appears early in thymocyte differentiation and remains expressed on all mature T lymphocytes. In the mouse, it consists of five chains: gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, and eta. The relative masses of the mouse CD3 chains are 21, 28, 26, 32, (dimer) and 21 kDa, respectively. Clone 1zeta3A1 recognizes an epitope in the C-terminus of mouse CD3zeta. A synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of mouse CD3zeta (BSACDTYDALHMQTLAPR) was used as immunogen. Hybridomas were derived from Balb/c spleen cells x NS-1. Synonyms: CD3zeta chain
