Abstract excerpt
TCRAV segments contribute significantly to MHC restriction as illustrated by their general preference for either the CD4 or CD8 T cell subset and additional, MHC allele-specific overselection during T cell differentiation. The 10-fold over-representation of the TCRAV8S2 (VA8S2) segment in CD8 over CD4 T cells by the RT1(f) haplotype of LEW.1F rats provides the most striking example of MHC allele-specific...
