Abstract excerpt
Both environmental and genetic factors combine to shape the TCR repertoire as measured by V gene usage. These factors may result in dramatic shifts in normal subjects, which cannot be discounted when studies are performed in patients with disease. Future studies need to explore further examples of genetic and environmental factors that shape the TCR repertoire to understand the full extent of variation in a...
