Abstract excerpt
The origin and development of T cells bearing gamma/delta T cells receptors (TcR) has been extensively studied in the mouse. By contrast, little is known about development patterns and diversity of the human gamma/delta T cell lineage. To study the repertoire of human gamma/delta+ T cells during T cell ontogeny, we have isolated clonal populations of gamma/delta+ T cells from 14-week fetal thymus and liver and...
