Abstract excerpt
Structural models for the TCR alpha/beta predict that the CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 loops of both the alpha- and beta-chains contribute to specific interactions with the Ag/MHC complex. The CDR3 loops are constructed by joining events involving the V-(D)-J segments, and thus may vary in both sequence and length. We have developed a polymerase chain reaction assay to assess the length variation of the CDR3 loop in TCR...
