Revealing Clonal Responses of Tumor-Reactive T-Cells Through T Cell Receptor Repertoire Analysis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
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

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
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 ...

A comprehensive evaluation of diversity measures for TCR repertoire profiling. [PDF]

BMC Biol
Abstract Background T cells play a crucial role in adaptive immunity, as they monitor internal and external immunogenic signals through their specific receptors (TCRs). Using high-throughput sequencing, one can assess TCR repertoire in various clinical settings and describe it quantitatively by calculating a diversity

T‐cell receptor repertoire analysis for the diagnosis and treatment of solid tumor: A methodology and clinical applications

Cancer Communications, 2020
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]

PLoS ONE, 2012
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 T Cell Receptor Repertoire Diversity Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2022
Immune reconstitution after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with a conditioning regimen has appeared to be a promising treatment for autoimmune diseases and hematologic malignancies.

Enterovirus 71 Infection Shapes Host T Cell Receptor Repertoire and Presumably Expands VP1-Specific TCRβ CDR3 Cluster

Pathogens, 2020
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) has become an important public health problem in the Asia-Pacific region in the past decades. EV71 infection might cause neurological and psychiatric complications and even death. Although an EV71 vaccine has been currently approved,

The TCR δ Repertoire in Normal Human Skin is Restricted and Distinct from the TCR δ Repertoire in the Peripheral Blood [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2001
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 ...

Exploring the potential of the TCR repertoire as a tumor biomarker (Review). [PDF]

Oncol Lett
T cells play an important role in adaptive immunity. Mature T cells specifically recognize antigens on major histocompatibility complex molecules through T-cell receptors (TCRs). As the TCR repertoire is highly diverse, its analysis is vital in the assessment of T cells.

Co-receptor CD8-mediated modulation of T-cell receptor functional sensitivity and epitope recognition degeneracy [PDF]

, 2013
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 ...
