Abstract excerpt
The set of potential T cell receptor specificities is highly diverse. The relative contributions of T cell receptor (TCR) V beta gene segment polymorphisms, duplications, deletions, and gene conversions to this final T cell receptor protein diversity are unknown. To study these mechanisms, we sequenced and compared closely related primate TCR gene segments from BV8S1, S2, and S5. Interspecies comparisons show...
