Abstract excerpt
T-cell receptor (TCR) usage has an important role in determining the outcome of CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses to viruses and other pathogens. However, the characterization of TCR usage from which such conclusions are drawn is based on exclusive analysis of either the TCRα chain or, more commonly, the TCRβ chain. Here, we have used a multiplexed reverse transcription-PCR protocol to analyse the CDR3...
