| 描述 | The F23.1 antibody reacts with the V β 8.1, V β 8.2, and V β 8.3 T-cell receptors (TCR) of mice having the b haplotype ( e.g., A, AKR, BALB/c, CBA/Ca, CBA/J, C3H/He, C57BL, C58, DBA/1, DBA/2) of the Tcrb gene complex. The Tcrb-V8 subfamily gene loci are deleted in mice having the a(e.g., C57BR, C57L, SJL, SWR) or c ( e.g., RIII) haplotype. V β 8.1 TCR-bearing T lymphocytes are clonally eliminated in mice expressing superantigen coded by Mtv-7 (Mls-1a, Mlsa) provirus ( e.g., AKR, CBA/J, C58, DBA/2), and activation or elimination of V β 8.1 TCR-expressing T cells by this determinant is partially dependent upon presentation by I-E. Mtv-43 and/or exogenous MMTV-SW superantigens also cause incomplete elimination of V β 8.1 TCR-bearing T cells. In addition to expression on conventional T lymphocytes, V β 8.2 is the predominant β chain of the TCR on NK-T cells. Staphylococcal enterotoxin B, in association with antigen-presenting cells expressing I-A and/or I-E, stimulates lymphocytes bearing V β 8 TCR and selectively eliminates those T cells in vivo . Soluble and plate-bound F23.1 antibody activates V β 8 TCR-bearing T cells, soluble antibody blocks cytolysis mediated by V β 8 TCR-bearing cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and in vivo treatment of neonatal mice can arrest intrathymic maturation of V β 8 TCR-bearing T cells. |
