Abstract excerpt
Using 50 samples of umbilical cord blood lymphocytes from Japanese donors, we analysed two human T-cell receptor beta variable (TCRBV) genes, BV6S4 and BV6S5, for their polymorphism, usage frequencies and CD4/CD8 skewness. They showed contrasting CD4/CD8 skewness, BV6S4 to CD8+ T cells and BV6S5 to CD4+ T cells. Genotyping of the BV6S4 alleles (A1, A2 and A3) revealed two of the six possible BV6S4 genotypes,...
