The germ-line joining (J) gene segments and constant (C) genes encoding the .beta. chain of the mouse T cell antigen receptor were isolated on a single cosmid clone. There are 2 constant genes, C.beta.1 and C.beta.2, each associated with a cluster of J.beta. gene segments. The nucleotide sequences of the C.beta.2 gene and of the J.beta.2 cluster gene segments were determined. The coding sequence of the C.beta.2 gene is very similar to the sequence of a c[complementary]DNA clone encoded by the C.beta.1 gene. The C.beta.2 gene has 4 exons; exon-intron structure does not obviously correspond to the functional domains of the protein. The J.beta.2 gene segment cluster contains 6 functional J gene segments. Specific probes were isolated for the C.beta.1, C.beta.2, J.beta.1 and J.beta.2 regions to examine DNA rearrangements in T lymphocytes. DNA rearrangements can occur in both J.beta. gene segment clusters, and both C.beta. genes appear functional.
