Regulation of T cell repertoires by commensal microbiota [PDF]
The gut microbiota plays an important role in regulating the host immune systems. It is well established that various commensal microbial species can induce the differentiation of CD4+ T helper subsets such as Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells and Th17 ...

Landscape of T‐cell repertoires with public COVID‐19‐associated T‐cell receptors in pre‐pandemic risk cohorts [PDF]
Objectives T cells have an essential role in the antiviral defence. Public T‐cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes are expanded in a substantial proportion of COVID‐19 patients.

Analysis of T cell repertoires of CD45RO CD4 T cells in cohorts of patients with bullous pemphigoid: A pilot study [PDF]
Autoimmune diseases develop over years - starting from a subclinical phenotype to clinically manifest autoimmune disease. The factors that drive this transition are ill-defined.

Human and Murine Clonal CD8+ T Cell Expansions Arise during Tuberculosis Because of TCR Selection. [PDF]
The immune system can recognize virtually any antigen, yet T cell responses against several pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are restricted to a limited number of immunodominant epitopes.

Learning predictive signatures of HLA type from T-cell repertoires. [PDF]
T cells recognize a wide range of pathogens using surface receptors that interact directly with peptides presented on major histocompatibility complexes (MHC) encoded by the HLA loci in humans. Understanding the association between T cell receptors (TCR)

T-cell repertoires in refractory coeliac disease. [PDF]
Refractory coeliac disease (RCD) is a potentially hazardous complication of coeliac disease (CD). In contrast to RCD type I, RCD type II is a precursor entity of enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), which is associated with clonally expanding T-cells that are also found in the sequentially developing EATL.

Oligoclonal B cell expansion and passenger fusion genes predict response to Nivolumab in recurrent ovarian cancer: phase II Kyoto trial [PDF]
Background We previously reported a phase II Kyoto trial for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (n = 20) using nivolumab (anti-programmed cell death-1 [PD-1] antibody).

Comparing T cell receptor repertoires using optimal transport.
The complexity of entire T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires makes their comparison a difficult but important task. Current methods of TCR repertoire comparison can incur a high loss of distributional information by considering overly simplistic sequence ...

CD8+ T-Cell Repertoire in Human Leukocyte Antigen Class I-Mismatched Alloreactive Immune Response
In transplantation, direct allorecognition is a complex interplay between T-cell receptors (TCR) and HLA molecules and their bound peptides expressed on antigen-presenting cells. In analogy to HLA mismatched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT),

Although B cells and T cells are integral players of the adaptive immune system and act in co-dependent ways to orchestrate immune responses, existing methods to study the immune repertoire have largely focused on separate analyses of B cell receptor ...
