Only 10 different V.beta. gene segments were found when the sequences of variable (V.beta.) genes of the mouse T-cell receptor were examined. The total number of expressed V.beta. gene segments may be 21 or fewer, which makes the expressed germline V.beta. repertoire much smaller than that of the IgH heavy chain or light chain genes. .beta.-Chain somatic diversification is concentrated at the V.beta.-D.beta.-J.beta. junctions.
