Abstract excerpt
T-cell receptor α (TCRα) chain rearrangement is not constrained by allelic exclusion and thus αβ T cells frequently have rearranged both alleles of this locus. Thereby, stepwise secondary rearrangements of both TCRα loci further increase the odds for generation of an α-chain that can be positively selected in combination with a pre-existing TCRβ chain. Previous studies estimated that approximately 2-12% of murine...
