Shorter TCR β-Chains Are Highly Enriched During Thymic Selection and Antigen-Driven Selection

The adaptive immune system uses several strategies to generate a repertoire of T cell receptors (TCR) with sufficient diversity to recognize the universe of potential pathogens. However, it remains unclear how differences in the T cell receptor (TCR) contribute to heterogeneity in T cell state. In t...
