Critical reviews in immunology - 1 Jan 1992
Usuku K, Joshi N, Hauser S L
Abstract excerpt
The genomic organization of the T-cell receptor (TCR) gene complexes accounts for many central aspects of T-cell immunobiology, including specificity and diversity. Recent data indicate that polymorphism of TCR genes is present within a species and may influence the immune phenotype of an individ...
