Abstract excerpt
In BALB/c lung and lymph node gamma delta T cells, a large fraction of the expressed V delta 5 genes consist of an invariant sequence, BID (for BALB/c invariant delta). BID results from a direct joining of the V delta 5, D delta 2, and J delta 1 segments, which conserve their complete germline coding sequences. In C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice, where identical and functional segments are present in the germline, BID is...
