normal thy-1+ ec express abundant levels of functional rna for tcr-gamma and delta-chains and for the cd3 delta-chain , whereas nude thy-1+ ec produce no detectable tcr-delta and no cd3 delta-rna and only truncated , presumably germ-line tcr-gamma transcripts , as suggested by lack of hybridization with gamma-v region probes and by lack of detectable rearrangements in the gamma-genes .
