Orderable Test Description
T-cell receptor delta (TCR delta) is used as a phenotypic marker for TCR delta-expressing T-cells. TCR is a heterodimer composed of either alpha/beta or gamma/delta. TCR delta is expressed by thymocytes and a majority of peripheral (gamma/delta TCR-bearing) T-cells. Evaluation may help in the differential diagnosis of T-cell lymphomas.
