HTS analysis of TRB repertoire in CD4+Treg, CD4+Tconv, and CD8+T-cell subsets. (A) Number of unique reads identified in each patient for Treg, Tconv, and CD8+ T cells and (B) Shannon entropy index calculated among unique reads for Treg, Tconv, and CD8+ T cells. (A-B) *P < .05; **P < .01. (C) Representative heat maps depicting Vβ and Jβ gene pairing in unique sequences from (left) CD4+ Tconv, (middle) CD4+ Treg, and (right) CD8+ T cells from controls and patient 1. (D) Hydrophobicity analysis of amino acid residues at positions 6 and 7 of the TRB-CDR3 in (left) CD4+ Tconv, (middle) CD4+ Treg, and (right) CD8+ T cells from CD3G-mutated patients (n = 6) compared with controls (n = 8). *P < 10−4.
