Overview
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is a template-independent DNA polymerase that catalyzes the addition of deoxynucleotides to the 3'-hydroxyl terminus of oligonucleotide primers. It is expressed in restricted populations of normal and malignant pre-B and pre-T lymphocytes during early differentiation, where it generates antigen receptor diversity by synthesizing non-germ line elements (N-regions) at the junctions of rearranged Ig heavy chain and T cell receptor gene segments. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms of this protein have been described.
Specificity:
The mouse monoclonal antibody 41A recognizes TdT (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase; an intracellular antigen), which is responsible for antigen receptor diversity in pre-B and pre-T lymphocytes.
