Abstract excerpt
Allelic exclusion of the alpha and beta chains of the T cell receptor is maintained by different mechanisms. Exclusion of the beta-chain is primarily by allowing the successful rearrangement of only one of the two beta-chain loci. In the case of the alpha-chain, rearrangement on both chromosomes is very common, as is expression of alpha-chain mRNA and protein encoded by both loci. For the most part, however,...
