Developmental regulation of D beta reading frame and junctional diversity in T cell receptor-beta transcripts from human thymus
1 Feb 1992
Abstract excerpt
During fetal life, both Ig and TCR-gamma delta repertoires are enriched for a specific set of Ag receptors with limited diversity. In order to test the hypothesis that diversification of the human TCR-beta repertoire also follows a developmental program, we examined TCR-beta DJ and VDJ transcripts from fetal and adult thymi. A consistent bias for D beta 1.1 and J beta 1.1 was present in DJ transcripts amplified...
