Hedrick and Davis used the technique of subtractive hybridization to isolate cDNA clones encoding for the T cell receptor. – Briefly explain the method of subtractive
hybridization.– State why this method was so important
in the characterization of the TCR.

What does it mean to say that TCRs belong to the Ig supergene family?
Briefly describe the heterodimeric structure of the TCR.
TCR genes use the same strategies as antibody genes to develop receptor diversity; however, TCR genes do not exhibit somatic hypermutation. Why?
The TCR is closely assoicated with another surface protein complex. What is its name and function?
