T-cell receptors are not made in a secreted form, and their constant regions do not contribute to T-cell effector function. Other molecules secreted by T cells are used for effector functions. There is therefore no need for isotype switching in T cells, and the T-cell receptor loci do not contain numerous alternative C genes.
