Abstract excerpt
T cell receptor alpha (TCRalpha) chain has been characterised in several teleost species to date. Here, a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) strategy was used to isolate cDNA clones encoding TCRalpha chain from an individual of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio.L.). The Valpha sequences identified were most similar to Valpha of other teleosts, and could be classified into as many as 14 Valpha...
