title: T-cell receptor gene structure and function.
abstract: Recent progress in the serology, biochemistry, and now the molecular genetics of T-cell receptor molecules has brought within reach the prospect of solving some of the most basic questions about the nature of T-cell recognition. These include the exact nature of the receptor-major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-antigen recognition event and the sequential expression of T-cell receptor molecules in the thymus.
