Relative levels of expression of T cell receptor variable (V) beta and joining (J) beta gene segments were determined in T cells derived from intestinal biopsies of healthy mucosal areas, mesenteric lymph nodes and peripheral blood of the same individuals. Samples taken from patients suffering from inflammatory (n = 8) and non-inflammatory (n = 8) bowel diseases were analyzed by semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction-based methods. In the intestine, fewer (median = 3.5) V beta gene segments constituted more than 50% of the T cell receptor V beta repertoire compared to that of peripheral blood T cells (median = 7, P < 0.001). Interestingly, in all sixteen individuals studied, intestinal T lymphocytes (IL-T) expressed the V beta 7 gene family to a higher degree than did T cells in the paired peripheral blood and mesenteric lymph nodes (P < 0.001). T cell receptor J beta gene segment analyses of V beta 7+ T cells revealed no significant difference in oligoclonality rates between peripheral blood (4/16) and intestine (7/16) (P = 0.46). Hence, overexpression of intestinal TCR V beta 7 message does not seem to be due to oligoclonal expansions in the majority of the samples.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
