Identification of the transgenic integration site in immunodeficient tgε26 human CD3ε transgenic mice.

A strain of human CD3ε transgenic mice, tgε26, exhibits severe immunodeficiency associated with early arrest of T cell development. Complete loss of T cells is observed in homozygous tgε26 mice, but not in heterozygotes, suggesting that genomic disruption due to transgenic integration may contribute...
