Figure 1

TREC formation and primer design. Schematic of TREC formation following VJ recombination at the Tcra locus. Primers are depicted by arrows and are designed to face toward each other following formation of the TRECs (Hazenberg et al., 2001). PCR amplification is expected when primers face each other.

Figure 2

TRECs detected across a range of ages in mice. (A) Agarose gel electrophoresis of TRECs from the thymus of 2-month-old wildtype mice amplified by PCR in flight and on the ground. Numbers indicate starting concentration of purified DNA in nanograms. (B) Agarose gel electrophoresis of PCR-amplified TRECs from peripheral blood obtained from mice over a range of ages. Rag KO = Rag knockout mice. Thymic DNA = DNA isolated from thymus of 2-month-old wildtype mice. In each reaction, the starting concentration of purified DNA was 10 nanograms.
