Abstract excerpt
TCRbeta chain repertoire of peripheral alphabeta T cells is generated through the stepwise assembly and subsequent selection of TCRbeta V region exons during thymocyte development. To evaluate the influence of a two-step recombination process on Vbeta rearrangement and selection, we generated mice with a preassembled Dbeta1Jbeta1.1 complex on the Jbeta1(omega) allele, an endogenous TCRbeta allele that lacks the...
