Rapid Evolution of the CD8+ TCR Repertoire in Neonatal Mice [PDF]
Abstract Currently, there is little consensus regarding the most appropriate animal model to study acute infection and the virus-specific CD8+ T cell (CTL) responses in neonates. TCRβ high-throughput sequencing in naive CTL of differently aged neonatal mice was performed, which demonstrated differential Vβ family gene usage.

Evolution of the Antigen-Specific CD8+ TCR Repertoire across the Life Span: Evidence for Clonal Homogenization of the Old TCR Repertoire [PDF]
Abstract Defects in T cell responses against pathogens and reduced diversity of TCRs have been described at both extremes of the life span. Yet, we still lack information on how Ag-specific T cell populations are maintained and/or altered from birth to old age.

Genetic and environmental determinants of human TCR repertoire diversity [PDF]
T cell discrimination of self and non-self is the foundation of the adaptive immune response, and is orchestrated by the interaction between T cell receptors (TCRs) and their cognate ligands presented by major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules. However,

Exploiting TCR Repertoire Analysis to Select Therapeutic TCRs for Cancer Immunotherapy. [PDF]
Over the past decade, numerous innovative immunotherapy strategies have transformed the treatment of cancer and improved the survival of patients unresponsive to conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Immune checkpoint inhibition approaches aim to block negative regulatory pathways that limit the function of endogenous T cells, while adoptive

Maternal and Infant Immune Repertoire Sequencing Analysis Identifies Distinct Ig and TCR Development in Term and Preterm Infants [PDF]
Preterm labor (PTL) is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Whereas many studies have investigated the maternal immune responses that cause PTL, fetal immune cell activation has recently been raised as an important contributor

Human γδ TCR Repertoires in Health and Disease [PDF]
The T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires of γδ T cells are very different to those of αβ T cells. While the theoretical TCR repertoire diversity of γδ T cells is estimated to exceed the diversity of αβ T cells by far, γδ T cells are still understood as more invariant T cells that only use a limited set of γδ TCRs. Most of our current knowledge of human γδ

CD4 Promotes Breadth in the TCR Repertoire [PDF]
Abstract A diverse population of MHC class II-restricted CD4 lineage T cells develops in mice that lack expression of the CD4 molecule. In this study, we show that the TCR repertoire selected in the absence of CD4 is distinct, but still overlapping in its properties with that selected in the presence of CD4.

Huge Overlap of Individual TCR Beta Repertoires [PDF]
It has been reported that human TCR repertoires commonly carry so-called public clonotypes – CDR3 variants that are often shared between individuals. Cross-comparison of individual immune repertoires has previously revealed the existence of a population of TCR beta CDR3 variants that are identical at the amino acid level for any two donors (1–3).
