Fig. 1From: Characterization of the chicken T cell receptor γ repertoire by high-throughput sequencingGenomic organization of the red jungle fowl TCRγ gene locus. Vγ: potentially functional Vγ gene segment; Vγ ORF: Vγ gene segment with an intact open reading frame but containing defect in RSS or regulatory elements, and/or absence of the conserved amino acids which are necessary for the correct folding of the V-region; Jγ: joining gene segment; Cγ: constant gene segment. Potentially functional Vγ segments and Vγ ORFs are represented with black boxes. Pseudo Vγ segments are represented with hollow boxes and marked with the letter “ψ”. Non-TCR genes located flanking TCRγ locus are shown in light grey. The arrow indicates that the transcriptional orientation of LRRFIP2 gene is opposite to the Cγ gene segmentBack to article page
