Abstrakt: | The loci encoding B and T cell Ag receptors are generally distinct in commonly studied mammals, with each receptor's gene segments limited to intralocus, cis chromosomal rearrangements. The nurse shark ( Ginglymostoma cirratum ) represents the oldest vertebrate class, the cartilaginous fish, with adaptive immunity provided via Ig and TCR lineages, and is one species among a growing number of taxa employing Ig-TCRδ rearrangements that blend these distinct lineages. Analysis of the nurse shark Ig-TCRδ repertoire found that these rearrangements possess CDR3 characteristics highly similar to canonical TCRδ rearrangements. Furthermore, the Ig-TCRδ rearrangements are expressed with TCRγ, canonically found in the TCRδ heterodimer. We also quantified BCR and TCR transcripts in the thymus for BCR (IgHV-IgHC), chimeric (IgHV-TCRδC), and canonical (TCRδV-TCRδC) transcripts, finding equivalent expression levels in both thymus and spleen. We also characterized the nurse shark TCRαδ locus with a targeted bacterial artifical chromosome sequencing approach and found that the TCRδ locus houses a complex of V segments from multiple lineages. An IgH-like V segment, nestled within the nurse shark TCRδ translocus, grouped with IgHV-like rearrangements we found expressed with TCRδ (but not IgH) rearrangements in our phylogenetic analysis. This distinct lineage of TCRδ-associated IgH-like V segments was termed "TAILVs." Our data illustrate a dynamic TCRδ repertoire employing TCRδVs, NARTCRVs, bona fide trans -rearrangements from shark IgH clusters, and a novel lineage in the TCRδ-associated Ig-like V segments.
