Disease relevance of TRB@

 

High impact information on TRB@

 

Chemical compound and disease context of TRB@

  • The benzimidazole D-ribonucleosides TCRB and BDCRB are potent and selective inhibitors of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication [11].
  • The BIOMED-2 Concerted Action BMH4-CT98-3936 on 'Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based clonality studies for early diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disorders' developed standardized PCR protocols for detection of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor (TCR) rearrangements, including TCR beta (TCRB) [12].
  • Evaluation of the 2-chloro analog of BDCRB (TCRB) which is less potent against HCMV, its 5'-deoxy analog (5'-dTCRB) which is more potent, and the 2-unsubstituted compound (DRB) gave the following order of haemopoietic toxicity: DRB > TCRB > or = 5'-dTCRB > BDCRB [13].
 

Biological context of TRB@

  • The clonal TCRB, TCRG and TCRD gene rearrangements were analyzed for gene segment usage and for the size and composition of their junctional regions [14].
  • For chromosomal mapping of the Ig and TcR loci including the IGK, IGL, and TRB on the cat genome, we performed PCR screening of DNAs from 37 cat x rodent somatic cell hybrids by using specific primers for the given genes [15].
  • All but one patient-derived conserved sequences originated from acute stage ReA-patients, and were not present among approximately 3800 other human TCRB sequences in the database [16].
  • Two-point linkage analysis between Thomsen disease and TCRB showed a maximum cumulative lod score of 3.963 at a recombination fraction of .10 (1-lod support interval .048-.275) [1].
  • In addition, we observed considerable linkage disequilibrium (LD) (r(2) > 0.1) over distances of approximately 30 kb in TCRB, and, in general, the distribution of r(2) as a function of physical distance was in close agreement with neutral coalescent simulations [17].
 

Anatomical context of TRB@

  • To test the impact of CD on the regional distribution of expanded T cells, this study analyzed the T cell receptor beta (TCRB) repertoire within colonic biopsy specimens from 12 CD patients and 6 noninflammatory controls by TCR spectratyping [18].
  • TCRG and TCRB mRNAs were expressed in the cells of precursor T- but not B-cell leukemia patients studied [19].
  • On Southern blot analysis, the mature T-cell leukemia cells studied had rearranged TCRG and TCRB while IGHJ remained as in the germ line [19].
  • The T-cell receptor (TCR) plays a central role in the immune system, and > 90% of human T cells present a receptor that consists of the alpha TCR subunit (TCRA) and the beta subunit (TCRB) [17].
  • Chromosomal in situ hybridization of a Hodgkin's disease-derived cell line (L540) using DNA probes for TCRA, TCRB, MET, and rRNA [20].
 

Associations of TRB@ with chemical compounds

  • The RR was 1.67 for allele C1 at TCRA1, 3.35 for allele D2 at TCRA2, 1.66 for allele B2 at TCRG, and 1.35 for allele B at TCRB, showing no significant association [10].
  • Using the multiplex PCR tubes of the BIOMED-2 Concerted Action, TCRB gene rearrangements were detected in 35% of childhood (n=161) and adult (n=172) precursor-B-ALL patients (Vbeta-(Dbeta)-Jbeta in 25%; Dbeta-Jbeta in 15%) [5].
  • Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) cDNAs encoding the T-cell antigen receptor beta chain (TCRB) were isolated from leukocyte RNA by reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) [21].
  • These findings are consistent with genetic mapping of resistance to TCRB (2,5,6-trichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl benzimidazole) (P. M. Krosky et al., J. Virol. 72:4721-4728, 1998) and provide further indirect evidence that proteins encoded by UL89 and UL56 function as two subunits of the CMV terminase [22].
  • Regional cerebral muscarinic cholinergic receptor binding was quantified in normal young and elderly subjects employing the muscarinic antagonist radioligand [11C]tropanyl benzilate (TRB) [23].
