Hybrid human-mouse T-cell clones reactive with Tp40 antibody, which detects cluster of differentiation (CD)7 antigen on human T lymphocytes, were established. Karyotype analysis showed that human chromosome 17 was essential for the expression of CD7 antigen. The presence of this chromosome was confirmed by enzyme analysis of galactokinase, which is coded by a gene on human chromosome 17.
