Abstract excerpt
Analyses of Vgamma-Jgamma rearrangements producing the most commonly expressed TCRgamma chains in over 200 gammadelta TCR(+) thymocytes showed that assembly of TCRgamma V-region genes display properties of allelic exclusion. Moreover, introduction of functionally rearranged TCRgamma and delta transgenes results in a profound inhibition of endogenous TCRgamma rearrangements in progenitor cells. The extent of...
