Transgenic T-cell receptor mice

Dear fellow netters,

I wonder if someone could answer this question that came to me AFTER 
hearing a talk on peripheral tolerance:

What kind of T-cell receptor to T-cell receptor transgenic mice express 
on their T-cells? I figured the single T-cell should express both 
receptors, the indigenous and the transgenic, but I wonder if there is a 
kind of bilateral exclusion so that only one kind of receptor is 
expressed and therefore there would be a subpopulation of T-cells 
expressing the transgenic receptor. Does anyone know to what percentage 
this subpopulation can build up to?

Thanks in advance for any input!

  Volker
