Objectives
To complete the cloning and characterization (already commenced) of the genes encoding the duck T-cell antigen receptor (TcR) polypeptides; to study the genes, products and surface markers of cloned duck T and B lymphoblastoid cells; to raise monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to the duck TcRs (using the cloned T cell lines as antigens and targets) and other T cell surface antigens, and to Ig heavy and light chains (using as antigens peptides constructed from deduced amino acid sequences).
