Multiple DNA and protein sequence alignments have been constructed for the human T-cell
receptor α/δ, β, and γ (TCRA/D, B, and G) variable (V) gene segments. The traditional …

Rapid advances in molecular biological techniques have made it possible to study disease
pathogenesis at a genomic level. T cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement is an important …

An assessment of the size of the human TCRBV gene segment repertoire based on the
identification of TCRBV gene segments in genomic DNA was undertaken. PCR amplification …

During a previous investigation an association was found between major histocompatibility
complex (MHC)-DRB1 alleles and faecal egg counts following natural infection …

An efficient oligonucleotide typing method for the highly polymorphic MHC‐DRB genes is
described for artiodactyls like cattle, sheep and goat. By means of the polymerase chain …

Autoimmune systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) nephritis is characterized by the influx of
mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrates within the glomeruli and renal interstitium. To …

Microsatellite polymorphisms of nine Eurasian populations (> 1200 chromosomes) were
analyzed for the following loci: i) intronic (gt) n stretches of three T cell receptor (TCR) B loci …

We have studied the usage of Vβ36, Dβ, and Jβ elements, and the composition of the CDR3
regions of human fetal TCR β chain rearrangements In a 17 week old fetal thymus and In …

Remarkable advances have been made in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity, such as with
bone marrow transplantation, which is becoming a powerful strategy in treating certain life …

Simple repetitive DNA sequences are abundantly interspersed in eukaryote genomes and
therefore useful in genome research and genetic fingerprinting in plants, fungi and animals …
