Abstract excerpt
A prerequisite for the assembly of a functional TCR is the rearrangement of gene segments to result in in-frame transcripts that can vary in length across the CDR3 region. Selection for in-frame 3-bp spaced rearrangements is observed for functional TCRB genes in thymocyte DNA and mRNA transcripts from PBMC. Previous analyses of the expressed human TCRBV gene repertoire have suggested that BV10S1 and BV19S1 gene...
