title: Influence of site of expression on the fetal gamma delta T-cell receptor repertoire.
abstract: The sequences of productive T-cell gamma/delta receptor transcripts were compared in different murine fetal tissues. Differences from tissue to tissue suggest that the sequence repertoires are at least in part the products of selection, presumably through interaction of T cells bearing the gamma delta receptor with fetal self-ligands.
