Spectratype analysis of the T-cell repertoire in LGL 1-5 and in the 2 blood donors with large expansions of CD8⁺CD94⁺ T cells.

The analysis has been performed for 21 BVs in 8 pools containing the specific primers for 2-4 BV families. Only the data of the pool with the BV depicted in the figure containing the BV of the dominant clone are shown. For each graph, the number in parentheses represents the size of the amplified fragment by Genescan analysis. The double peak in BD 3 has been authenticated by analysis with BJ-specific primers. The clone BV3¹⁹⁷ uses the BJ2.5 segment, whereas the clone BV3²⁰¹ uses the BJ2.7 segment.
