Abstract
The nucleotide sequences of 11 variable gene segments coding for rabbit T-cell receptor beta (Tcrb-V) chains were determined by directly sequencing fragments amplified by the cassette-ligation mediated polymerase chain reaction (CLM-PCR) and by modified anchor PCR without the cloning procedure. The nucleotide sequences in two of these 11 rabbit Tcrb-V gene segments coincided with those in two of the four rabbit Tcrb-V gene segments previously reported; the others have not been described. The percentage similarity of each nucleotide sequence of the 11 rabbit Tcrb-V gene segments was analyzed and the segments were divided into nine families, which were homologous to nine human families (Vb 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 18, and 22), respectively.Keywords
