Common epitope of the beta chain of the mouse alpha beta T cell receptor (TCR) complex<br>The alpha beta TCR is expressed on T lymphocytes of all mouse strains tested.2 The H57-597 monoclonal antibody does not react with gamma delta TCR-bearing cells.2 Plate-bound or soluble H57-597 activates alpha beta TCRbearing T cells.2 In vitro and in vivo, H57-597 can induce immature thymocytes to undergo apoptosis.3,4 In vivo administration of H57-597 has been shown to deplete alpha beta TCR-bearing cells to near completion and prevent graft rejection.5
