TcR1+ T cells in peripheral blood have been shown to express in an exclusive fashion either the Ti gamma A or the delta TCS1 epitope. Here, we characterize a subset of TcR1+ T cells in fresh thymus co-expressing the Ti gamma A and delta TCS1 epitopes. TcR1dim and TcR1bright clones can be distinguished. Biochemical and molecular studies on both types of clones generated from these thymocytes reveal a unique T cell receptor structure characterized by the use of a V gamma 9/C gamma 2-encoded 55-kDa gamma chain nondisulfide linked to a V delta 1-encoded delta chain.

D013950 Thymus Gland A single, unpaired primary lymphoid organ situated in the MEDIASTINUM, extending superiorly into the neck to the lower edge of the THYROID GLAND and inferiorly to the fourth costal cartilage. It is necessary for normal development of immunologic function early in life. By puberty, it begins to involute and much of the tissue is replaced by fat. Thymus,Gland, Thymus,Glands, Thymus,Thymus Glands
D016176 T-Lymphocyte Subsets A classification of T-lymphocytes, especially into helper/inducer, suppressor/effector, and cytotoxic subsets, based on structurally or functionally different populations of cells.

D016692 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell, gamma-delta T-cell receptors composed of CD3-associated gamma and delta polypeptide chains and expressed primarily in CD4-/CD8- T-cells. The receptors appear to be preferentially located in epithelial sites and probably play a role in the recognition of bacterial antigens. The T-cell receptor gamma/delta chains are separate and not related to the gamma and delta chains which are subunits of CD3 (see ANTIGENS, CD3).
