Longitudinal immunosequencing in healthy people reveals persistent T cell receptors rich in highly public receptors

Abstract Background The adaptive immune system maintains a diversity of T cells capable of recognizing a broad array of antigens. Each T cell’s specificity for antigens is determined by its T cell receptors (TCRs), which together across all T cells form a repertoire of millions of unique receptors i...
