Abstract excerpt
Human CD4+ T cells play an important role in the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). However, little is known about the spectratyping characteristics of the CD4+ T-cell receptor (TCR) α- and β-chains CDR3 region in tuberculosis (TB) patients. We sorted MTB peptide E7-bound CD4+ T cells by using E7/HLA-DR tetramers constructed with different HLA-DRB1 alleles and extracted the CDR3 amino-acid...
