Conservation of T Cell Receptor Conformation in Epidermal gamma &dgr; Cells with Disrupted Primary Vgamma Gene Usage

Caroline A. Mallick-Wood, Julia M. Lewis, Lauren I. Richie, Michael J. Owen, Robert E. Tigelaar, * Adrian C. Hayday *dagger

A feature that distinguishes gamma delta T cell subsets from most alpha beta T cells and B cells is the association of expression of single T cell receptor (TCR) gamma  and delta  variable (V) region gene segments with specific anatomic sites. Mice lacking the TCR Vgamma 5 chain normally expressed by most dendritic epidermal T cells were shown to retain a conformational determinant (idiotype) ordinarily expressed exclusively by such Vgamma 5+ cells. Conservation by shuffled gamma delta TCR chains of an idiotype associated with a specific anatomic site indicates that for TCRgamma delta , as for immunoglobulin, conformation is associated to a greater extent with the function or development of lymphocyte repertoires than is the use of particular gene segments.
