The TCRV beta RT-PCR method for detection of clonal populations of T cells which we described previously could not detect clones that used certain variable (V) beta region families. V beta 2, 4, 8.3, and 18 had insufficient homology with the original consensus V region primer. Two new primers have been designed which work well and are able to amplify from V beta families previously undetectable by this RT-PCR. In addition, minor alterations to the cDNA synthesis and gel analysis of the PCR produ ...[more]
