Exon/intron Sequence of the Murine T Cell Receptor Constant (Cβ1) Gene
Year: 1991
Type: article
Abstract: Germline DNA clones containing the constant genes (Cβ1 and Cβ2) coding for the β chain of the mouse T-cell receptor were isolated and nucleotide sequence of the Cβ1 gene was determined. The two constant (C)-region gene segments are almost identical over their entire coding region and splice junction sequences. Comparison of the mouse Cβ1 gene with the human counterpart reveals more than 80% sequence homologies in their coding regions and exon/intron boundaries. Both genes are arranged in four exons, interrupted by introns at the same positions.
