A summary of the degrees of sharing of CDR3<i>α</i> and CDR3<i>β</i> at the amino acid level across clones within epitope-specific T cell populations, found in published single-cell TCR sequencing data and our own.
<p>Unless indicated otherwise, the samples were obtained from influenza-infected mice. The data clearly demonstrate that sharing of both <i>α</i> and <i>β</i> chains within an individual occurs in different infection/inoculation settings.</p
