Article Abstract

To avoid mispairing between native and introduced T cell receptors (TCRs) and to prevent graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic T cell therapies, TCRα and TCRβ chains of native TCRs are knocked out via CRISPR-Cas9. We demonstrate the isolation and activation of CD8 T cells followed by electroporation of T cells with in vitro transcribed eSpCas9(1.1)-P2A-EGFP mRNA and single-guide RNAs targeting the TCRα and TCRβ constant regions. We then describe a flow cytometric analysis to determine TCR knockout efficiency.

In Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), SCO5433 encodes a TPR domain containing protein designated TcrA (TPR containing regulator A). TcrA is similar in amino acid sequence to AfsR, a well-characterized global regulatory protein in S. coelicolor A3(2).

The thymic preference for CD4+ T cells over CD8+ T cells is often attributed to a default pathway favouring CD4+ T cells or to homeostatic mechanisms. It is also clear, however, that T-cell receptor (TCR) preferences for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I versus class II binding will strongly influence an individual clone's skewing to the CD4 or CD8 subset. The variable region of each TCR alpha chain (V alpha) studied to date is found to be overrepresented in either CD4+ or CD8+ cells, suggesting that each V alpha element can interact more favourably with either MHC class I or class II molecules.

A T-cell receptor alpha chain locus (Tcra) congenic mouse is described. The Tcraa haplotype of BALB/c (donor strain) was bred on to B10.D2 (background strain, Tcrab haplotype) by using a Bgl I Tcra-C restriction fragment length polymorphism.
