Location of gene for beta subunit of human T-cell receptor at band 7q35, a region prone to rearrangements in T cells

M Isobe, J Erikson, BS Emanuel, PC Nowell, and CM Croce

The T-cell receptor is formed by two chains, alpha and beta, for which specific clones were recently obtained. In this report the gene for the beta chain of the human T-cell receptor was located on the long arm of chromosome 7, band q35, by means of in situ hybridization. This chromosome region in T cells is unusually prone to develop breaks in vivo, perhaps reflecting instability generated by somatic rearrangement of T-cell receptor genes during normal differentiation in this cell lineage.
