Systematic pattern analyses of Vδ2+ TCRs reveal that shared "public" Vδ2+ γδ T cell clones are a consequence of rearrangement bias and a higher expansion status.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Vγ9Vδ2+ T cells are a major innate T cell subset in human peripheral blood. Their Vδ2+ VDJ-rearrangements are short and simple in the fetal thymus and gradually increase in diversity and CDR3 length along with development. So-called "public" versions of Vδ2+ TCRs are shared among individuals of all ages. However, it is unclear whether such frequently occurring "public" Vγ9Vδ2+ T cell clones are derived from the fetal thymus and whether they are fitter to proliferate and persist than infrequent "private" clones.

Methods

Shared "public" Vδ2+ TCRs were identified from Vδ2+ TCR-repertoires collected from 89 individuals, including newborns (cord blood), infants, and adults (peripheral blood). Distance ma
