and T cell receptors (TCRs) in jawed vertebrates, the variable lymphocyte receptors (VLRs) of jawless vertebrates are composed of variable LRR sequences linked by a flexible invariant stalk region ...

Jawed vertebrates use V(D)J recombination of immunoglobulin and T cell receptors, whereas jawless vertebrates rearrange variable lymphocyte receptors encoding leucine-rich repeats to form an ...
