Abstract excerpt
The antigenic specificity of the majority of T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood is determined by the combination of alpha and beta variable region chains present in the T cell receptor complex. Currently, the V beta chains are grouped into 25 families. Historically, determination of V beta usage has relied on detection of gene rearrangement on the nucleic acid level; however, with the increased availability of...
