Two Successive Inversional Vβ Rearrangements on a Single Tcrb Allele Can Contribute to the TCRβ Repertoire.

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian TCRβ loci contain 30 Vβ gene segments upstream and in the same transcriptional orientation as two DJCβ clusters, and a downstream Vβ (TRBV31) in the opposite orientation. The textbook view is upstream Vβs rearrange only by deletion and TRBV31 rearranges only by inversion to create VβDJCβ genes. In this study, we show in mice that upstream Vβs recombine through inversion to the DJCβ2 cluster on alleles...
