The genes encoding the T-cell receptor (TCR) variable beta (TCRBV) regions were studied in skin biopsy samples from 24 patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), i.e. mycosis fungoides (n = 7), SΓ©zary syndrome (n = 4), lymphomatoid papulosis (n = 3) and large cell CTCL with (n = 3) or without

The nucleotide sequences of 38 T-cell receptor (Tcr) beta-chain cDNA clones which were isolated from a cDNA library (2 x 10(6) plaques) constructed from bovine peripheral blood lymphocytes were determined. Of 38 cDNA clones, 22 were rearranged and contained the functional variable (V) gene segments.
The o~/13 T-cell antigen receptor is formed by the combination of the o~ and 13 polypeptide chains which both consist of a constant and a variable portion. The genetic information for the variable portion on each chain is generated by rearrangements of variable (Tcr-V), diversity (Tcr-D, only for 13
The nucleotide sequences of 11 variable gene segments coding for rabbit T-cell receptor beta (Tcrb-V) chains were determined by directly sequencing fragments amplified by the cassette-ligation mediated polymerase chain reaction (CLM-PCR) and by modified anchor PCR without the cloning procedure. The
