Methods for detection of human gamma, gamma T cell receptor

摘要

The present invention provides purified polypeptides which comprise at least a portion of a delta T cell receptor polypeptide, a gamma T cell receptor polypeptide, a gamma , gamma T cell receptor complex or a gamma , delta T cell receptor complex. Substances capable of forming complexes with these polypeptides are also provided. Additionally, methods for detecting T cells which have within them or on their surfaces a polypeptide of the present invention are provided. Moreover, methods for diagnosing immune system abnormalities are provided which comprise measuring in a sample from a subject the number of T cells which have within them or on their surfaces a polypeptide of the present invention.
