The diversity of T-cell receptor repertoire of peripheral CD4+ lymphocytes in LEC mutant rats.

abstract：:Natural Killer (NK) cells were discovered when research on T cells produced an unexplained background, or "natural" cytotoxicity in non-immunized mice. The previously unknown cells were thus named "natural" killer cells, or NK cells. They are roughly defined by a lack of the T cell marker CD3 and a presence of CD56 (o...

Although the exact mechanism remains unclear, it was postulated that the 3' end ORF product of the env gene of IDDMK(1,2)22 would trigger a V beta 7-specific human T cell...
