T cells have cell-surface protein receptors {immunoglobulin superfamily, antibody}. These glycoproteins can have alpha, beta, gamma, and delta subunits. Receptor genes for these proteins are similar to immunoglobulin genes. They have similar constant, joining, diverse, and variable regions and similar promoters. Immunoglobulin superfamily includes cell-adhesion proteins {neural-cell adhesion molecule}, growth-factor receptors, and lymphokine receptors. MHC genes are similar to genes for antibodies and T-cell receptors.
