Description:
A human complementary DNA clone specific for the alpha-chain of the T-cell receptor and a panel of rodent X human somatic cell hybrids were used to map the alpha-chain gene to human chromosome 14 in a region proximal to the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus. Analysis by means of in situ hybridization of human metaphase chromosomes served to further localize the alpha-chain gene to region 14q11q12, which is consistently involved in translocations and inversions detectable in human T-cell leukemias and lymphomas. Thus, the locus for the alpha-chain T-cell receptor may participate in oncogene activation in T-cell tumors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Croce, C M -- Isobe, M -- Palumbo, A -- Puck, J -- Ming, J -- Tweardy, D -- Erikson, J -- Davis, M -- Rovera, G -- CA 10 815/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA16685/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA215875/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1985 Mar 1;227(4690):1044-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3919442" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
