Transfer of specificity by murine alpha and beta T-cell receptor genes

Nature. 1986 Mar;320(6059):232-8. doi: 10.1038/320232a0.

Abstract

T-cell receptor alpha- and beta-chain genes were isolated from a class I major histocompatibility complex-restricted cytotoxic T-cell clone and transferred by protoplast fusion into another cytolytic T-cell clone of different specificity. Expression of the transfected alpha and beta genes endowed the recipient cell with the specificity of the donor cell.
