TCR gamma/delta Monoclonal / PE / GL3
Product Details
| Description | The T cell receptor is a heterodimeric glycoprotein associated with the CD3 antigen. The TCR consists of a alpha and a beta chain (TCRalpha/beta) or a gamma and a delta chain (TCRgamma/delta). Clone GL3 reacts with a framework epitope of the gamma/delta T-cell receptor. The gamma and delta TCR chains are composed of constant and variable regions, each encoded by distinct gene segments. The gamma chain forms either disulfide-linked or non-disulfide-linked heterodimers with the delta-subunit. The gamma/delta T-cell receptor is present on a subset of T lymphocytes in peripheral blood, intestinal epithelium, lymph node, thymus and spleen. TCR gamma/delta is involved in the recognition of certain bacterial, self-CD1 molecule, and tumor antigens bound to MHC class I. gamma/delta T cells are mainly CD4 negative and CD8 negative. T cells expressing the gamma/delta TCR have been shown to play a role in oral tolerance, innate immune response for some tumor cells, and autoimmune disease. Antigen presentation by gamma/delta T cells has been reported. | |

About TCR gamma/delta
T cell receptors recognize foreign antigens which have been processed as small peptides and bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules at the surface of antigen presenting cells (APC). Each T cell receptor is a dimer consisting of one alpha and one beta chain or one delta and one gamma chain. In a single cell, the T cell receptor loci are rearranged and expressed in the order delta, gamma, beta, and alpha. If both delta and gamma rearrangements produce functional chains, the cell expresses delta and gamma. If not, the cell proceeds to rearrange the beta and alpha loci. This region represents the germline organization of the T cell receptor gamma locus. The gamma locus includes V (variable), J (joining), and C (constant) segments. During T cell development, the gamma chain is synthesized by a recombination event at the DNA level joining a V segment with a J segment; the C segment is later joined by splicing at the RNA level. Recombination of many different V segments with several J segments provides a wide range of antigen recognition. Additional diversity is attained by junctional diversity, resulting from the random addition of nucleotides by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase. Several V segments of the gamma locus are known to be incapable of encoding a protein and are considered pseudogenes. Somatic rearrangement of the gamma locus has been observed in T cells derived from patients with T cell leukemia and ataxia telangiectasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

About PE
Phycoerythrin (PE, R-PE) is a red-emitting fluorescent protein-chromophore complex that can be excited the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser with increasing efficiency and captured with a 586/14 nm bandpass filter. PE has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 578 nm. PE is 240kD in size and has an extinction coefficient of ~2x10^6 which makes it one of the brightest fluorophores available and a potent donor upon which to build tandem fluorophores with longer Stoke's Shifts.
