Genes, T-Cell Receptor

Gene, T-Cell Receptor; Gene, TcR; Genes, T Cell Receptor; Genes, TcR; T Cell Receptor Genes; T-Cell Receptor Gene; TcR Gene
DNA sequences, in cells of the T-lymphocyte lineage, that code for T-cell receptors. The TcR genes are formed by somatic rearrangement (see GENE REARRANGEMENT, T-LYMPHOCYTE and its children) of germline gene segments, and resemble Ig genes in their mechanisms of diversity generation and expression.
