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).

Revealing Clonal Responses of Tumor-Reactive T-Cells Through T Cell Receptor Repertoire Analysis
CD8+ T cells are the key effector cells that contribute to the antitumor immune response. They comprise various T-cell clones with diverse antigen-specific T-cell receptors (TCRs).

Cytomegalovirus-Mediated T Cell Receptor Repertoire Perturbation Is Present in Early Life
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a highly prevalent herpesvirus, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where it is endemic from infancy. The T cell response against CMV is important in keeping the virus in check, with CD8 T cells playing a major role in the ...

T cells, which are involved in adaptive immunity, are essential in the elimination of tumor cells. Mature T cells can specifically recognize the antigen on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule through T‐cell receptors (TCR).

Limited T cell receptor repertoire diversity in tuberculosis patients correlates with clinical severity. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The importance of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in protection against tuberculosis (TB) is well known, however, the association between changes to the T cell repertoire and disease presentation has never been analyzed.

The TCR δ Repertoire in Normal Human Skin is Restricted and Distinct from the TCR δ Repertoire in the Peripheral Blood [PDF]
The skin and the intestinal mucosa form surfaces to external environments and share similarities in anatomic structure and immunologic defense. In healthy humans, intestinal gamma/delta T cells express a highly restricted gamma/delta T cell receptor repertoire whereas gamma/delta T cells of the skin were thought to express a polyclonal repertoire ...

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.
