Abstract excerpt
This study addresses the molecular basis of a Tcrb-V polymorphism in the reactivity to the superantigens staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) and the mtv-7 sag (MIs1a) of T cells recognized by the mAb R78, which reacts with the T cell receptor beta-chain variable segment 8.2 (Tcrb-V8.2) of Lewis (L...
