Abstract excerpt
Certain strains of mice, designated V beta a, have a deletion of the gene segments encoding the beta chain of the T-cell receptor variable region. These mice do not express 40 to 50% of the T-cell receptor V beta chains. In this study, we examined the influence of this deletion on susceptibility to Histoplasma capsulatum. In addition, H. capsulatum-injected V beta a mice were tested for their capacity to generate...
