Abstract excerpt
The distribution of T cells using the V beta 2 gene was studied in a group of 99 humans. The distribution of V beta 2+CD4+ levels was bimodal. Twelve individuals had levels of V beta 2+CD4+ less than 2% and 86 others had values greater than 5%. Only one individual had a value between 2% and 5%. The V beta 2 low (mean 1.3 +/- 0.49) and V beta 2 high (mean 8.2 +/- 1.65) phenotypes were stable. The V beta 2 low...
