Substantial evidence exists to suggest a role for T-cells in periodontal disease. As yet, however, the T-cell receptors remain to be characterised at the molecular level. The expression and the nucleotide sequence of genes from the T-cell receptor beta variable (TCRBV) gene families 2, 6 and 8 were analyzed in periodontal tissue from 24 patients with chronic adult periodontal disease (CAPD) and peripheral blood...
