TCR deep sequencing of transgenic RAG-1-deficient mice reveals endogenous TCR recombination: a cause for caution.

abstract：:Epstein-Barr virus achieves its ubiquitous and uniform epidemiological distribution by a dual strategy of latency to guarantee lifelong persistence and intermittent replication to guarantee transmission. These two functions appear to dictate residence in different cell types: latency in B lymphocytes and replication i...
