ASSAY FOR DETECTING AND QUANTITATING MOUSE T CELL RECEPTOR EXCISION CIRCLES

摘要

The present invention relates, in general, to an assay system and, in particular, to a molecular assay system for the detection and/or quantification of mouse T cell receptor excision circles. The present system can be used to detect newly produced naïve T lymphocytes and to monitor thymic output and T lymphocyte immune reconstitution in mice.
