Popis: Significance T cells play a key role in the adaptive immune system. The broad repertoire of unique receptors expressed by T cells is in principle able to recognize a huge diversity of pathogens, but how to extract that information from blood samples remains unclear. By sequencing and analyzing the statistics of T cell receptors of subjects vaccinated against yellow fever, we identified vaccine-specific receptors that expanded following vaccination. We show that each individual has a unique response, which is similar yet across subjects in its sequence composition, with a slightly higher similarity between twins. Our method can be used in the clinic to track disease-specific T cell clones expanding or contracting after infection, vaccination, or therapy.
T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire data contain information about infections that could be used in disease diagnostics and vaccine development, but extracting that information remains a major challenge. Here we developed a statistical framework to detect TCR clone proliferation and contraction from longitudinal repertoire data. We applied this framework to data from three pairs of identical twins immunized with the yellow fever vaccine. We identified 600 to 1,700 responding TCRs in each donor and validated them using three independent assays. While the responding TCRs were mostly private, albeit with higher overlap between twins, they could be well-predicted using a classifier based on sequence similarity. Our method can also be applied to samples obtained postinfection, making it suitable for systematic discovery of new infection-specific TCRs in the clinic.
