Abstract excerpt
Analysis of TCR repertoire usage and clonality is of potential value in understanding the pathogenesis of a number of human immune-mediated diseases. In diseases that are likely to be dependent on antigen-driven T cells, it has been suggested that particular TCR junctional region or CDR3 sequence...
