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.

Nine bovine T-cell receptor (Tcr) gamma chain (Tcrg) and three Tcr delta chain (Tcrd) cDNA clones were isolated from the cDNA libraries constructed from peripheral blood lymphocytes and thymocytes. Of nine Tcrg cDNA clones, only four were rearranged and contained specific V, J, and C gene segments,
Virtually all of our present understanding of repertoire development in c~/3 T-cells, particularly at the molecular level, has come from studies on humans and mice but there has been very little work done on other species (reviewed by Davis and Bjorkman 1988;Strominger 1989). In some instances, the
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
