Analysis of TCR<i>α</i> usage in human, YFV-specific peripheral-blood CD8⁺ T cells.

Abstract

<p><b>(A)</b> Observed distribution of relative clone sizes within the population specific for the HLA-A02:01/LLWNGPMAV epitope. Clones expressing a unique CDR3<i>α</i> are shown in grey; clones that share a CDR3<i>α</i> are coloured, and the numbers in the coloured boxes represent the number of clones sharing each CDR3<i>α</i>. <b>(B)</b> The distributions of CDR3<i>α</i> nucleotide insertion lengths in clones with shared CDR3<i>α</i> (left hand panel) and unique CDR3<i>α</i> (right hand panel).</p
