Relevance
TCR (T cell antigen receptor) recognizes foreign antigens and translates such recognition events into intracellular signals that elicit a change in the cell from a dormant to an activated state. TCR is a heterodimer composed of either alpha and beta or gamma and delta chains. CD3 chains and the CD4 or CD8 coreceptors are also required for efficient signal transduction through the TCR. -

Secondary
All lanes : Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) preadsorbed (ab97080) at 1/5000 dilution
Developed using the ECL technique.
Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size: 16 kDa
Observed band size: 21 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?
Additional bands at: 56 kDa, 74 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.
Exposure time: 90 seconds
TCR alpha contains a number of potential glycosylation sites (SwissProt) which may explain its migration at a higher molecular weight than predicted.
