Human thymic putative CD8αα precursors exhibit a biased TCR repertoire in single cell AIRR-seq
Thymic T cell development comprises T cell receptor (TCR) recombination and assessment of TCR avidity towards self-peptide-MHC complexes presented by antigen-presenting cells.

Antigen recognition through the T cell receptor (TCR) αβ heterodimer is one of the primary determinants of the adaptive immune response. Vaccines activate naïve T cells with high specificity to expand and differentiate into memory T cells.

Perturbations of the T-cell immune repertoire in kidney transplant rejection
In this cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of mapping the T-cell repertoire in kidney transplant recipients, we have investigated and validated T-cell clonality, immune repertoire chronology at rejection, and contemporaneous allograft biopsy ...

Deep sequencing of antiviral T-cell responses to HCMV and EBV in humans reveals a stable repertoire that is maintained for many years. [PDF]
CD8(+) T-cell responses against latent viruses can cover considerable portions of the CD8(+) T-cell compartment for many decades, yet their initiation and maintenance remains poorly characterized in humans. A key question is whether the clonal repertoire

γ9δ2 T-Cell Expansion and Phenotypic Profile Are Reflected in the CDR3δ Repertoire of Healthy Adults
γ9δ2T cells fill a distinct niche in human immunity due to the unique physiology of the phosphoantigen-reactive γ9δ2TCR. Here, we highlight reproducible TCRδ complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3δ) repertoire patterns associated with γ9δ2T cell ...

Co-receptor CD8-mediated modulation of T-cell receptor functional sensitivity and epitope recognition degeneracy [PDF]
The interaction between T-cell receptors (TCRs) and peptide epitopes is highly degenerate: a TCR is capable of interacting productively with a wide range of different peptide ligands, involving not only cross-reactivity proper (similar epitopes elicit ...

Characteristics of T-cell receptor repertoire of stem cell-like memory CD4+ T cells [PDF]
Stem cell-like memory T cells (Tscm) combine phenotypes of naïve and memory. However, it remains unclear how T cell receptor (TCR) characteristics contribute to heterogeneity in Tscm and other memory T cells.
