Abstrakt: HLA-E molecules can present self- and pathogen-derived peptides to both natural killer (NK) cells and T cells. T cells that recognize HLA-E peptides via their T cell receptor (TCR) are termed donor-unrestricted T cells due to restricted allelic variation of HLA-E. The composition and repertoire of HLA-E TCRs is not known so far. We performed TCR sequencing on CD8 + T cells from 21 individuals recognizing HLA-E tetramers (TMs) folded with two Mtb -HLA-E-restricted peptides. We sorted HLA-E Mtb TM + and TM - CD8 + T cells directly ex vivo and performed bulk RNA-sequencing and single-cell TCR sequencing. The identified TCR repertoire was diverse and showed no conservation between and within individuals. TCRs selected from our single-cell TCR sequencing data could be activated upon HLA-E/peptide stimulation, although not robust, reflecting potentially weak interactions between HLA-E peptide complexes and TCRs. Thus, HLA-E- Mtb -specific T cells have a highly diverse TCR repertoire.
