Table 3. Comparative diversity of the α, β, δ and γ TCR chains in mice and men³².

	Human	Mice
Vγ	∼6 (5 from same family and 1 distantly related)	∼6 (2 from same family and 4 broadly diverged)
Vδ	∼8 functional genes (only 3 commonly used—VD1, VD2 and VD3)	∼16 (6 homologous and 10 distinct)
Vα	∼42	∼75
Vβ	∼47	∼23

Abbreviation: TCR, T cell receptor.
