Relative quantification of TCR <it>Vbeta</it>-chain families by real time PCR for identification of clonal T-cell populations

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Quantification of T-cell receptor (TCR) chain families can be utilized for detection of clonal T-cell populations. Besides southern blotting and antibody-based approaches, quantitative real time PCR (qRT PCR) has been more widely app...
