TCR β-Chain Sharing in Human CD8+ T Cell Responses to Cytomegalovirus and EBV
1 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
The CD8(+) TCR repertoires specific for many immunogenic epitopes of CMV and EBV are dominated by a few TCR clonotypes and involve public TCRs that are shared between many MHC-matched individuals. In previous studies, we demonstrated that the observed sharing of epitope-specific TCRbeta chains between individuals is strongly associated with TCRbeta production frequency, and that a process of convergent...
