Abstract excerpt
The T-cell receptor (TCR) alpha and delta loci are particularly interesting because of their unique genomic structure, in that the gene segments for each locus are interspersed. The origin of this remarkable gene segment arrangement is obscure. In this report, we investigated the evolution of the TCRalpha and delta variable loci and their respective recombination signal sequences (RSSs). Our phylogenetic analyses...
