abstract：:We have sequenced the TCRs from Ld-specific alloreactive T cell hybridomas, whose reactivities we have found to be quite representative of those of a primary dm2 anti-BALB/cJ mixed lymphocyte reaction. We find V beta 6, V beta 7, V beta 8 and V beta 10 gene segments. V alpha usage is diverse, although closely related ...
