Comparison of the T-cell repertoire by different methods in 10 healthy donors and 3 HAA patients before and after immunosupression therapy. Data (mean ± SD) illustrate a return toward a normal T-cell repertoire after successful treatment. The percentage of absent and skewed spectratypes in peripheral blood lymphocytes were first evaluated by observation, then the percentage of skewings of Vβ spectratypes were evaluated by RI, and the complexity scores were calculated.
