Abstract

Approximately 80% of circulating lymphocytes are thymus-derived T cells, and these play an essential role in the regulation of humoral and cellular immune responses. The antigen recognition structure of T cells is the T-cell receptor (TCR). The majority of T cells express a TCR that consists of two disulfide-linked chains, the α and the β chain, which have two extracellular domains, one variable and the other constant, with a joining segment between. These TCRα/β-positive cells recognize antigen that is processed and expressed in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene products on the membrane of accessory cells (Zinkernagel and Doherty, 1974). A small proportion of cells express γ and δ chains (Triebel and Hercend, 1989) instead of α and β chains. The function of the γδ TCR, and the identity of its ligand, is as yet unclear.
