Differential usage of the Vγ and Vδ gene segments in E2A-deficient mice. (A and B) PCR analysis of total thymus DNA from adult (6-wk-old) E2A-deficient mice and their heterozygous littermates to determine the relative level of Vγ (A) and Vδ (B) gene rearrangements. Forward primers were specific for each V region. The Jγ1 reverse primer used recognizes all Jγ gene segments, whereas the reverse Jδ primers are specific for either Jδ1 or Jδ2. The δ PCRs were performed with both reverse primers, and the results were identical. A control reaction was performed with p53 primers. Shown are three independent knockouts (designated a, b, and c) and their heterozygous littermates.
