Abstract

T and B cell receptor (TCR and BCR) complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) genetic diversity is produced through multiple diversification and selection stages. Potential holes in the CDR3 repertoire were argued to be linked to immunodeficiencies and diseases. In contrast with BCRs, TCRs have practically no Dβ germline genetic diversity, and the question emerges as to whether they can produce a diverse CDR3 repertoire. In order to address the genetic diversity of the adaptive immune system, appropriate quantitative measures for diversity and large-scale sequencing are required. Such a diversity method should incorporate the complex diversification mechanisms of the adaptive immune response and the BCR and TCR loci structure. We combined large-scale sequencing and diversity measures to show that TCRs have a near maximal CDR3 genetic diversity. Specifically, TCR have a larger junctional and V germline diversity, which starts more 5' in Vβ than BCRs. Selection decreases the TCR repertoire diversity, but does not affect BCR repertoire. As a result, TCR is as diverse as BCR repertoire, with a biased CDR3 length toward short TCRs and long BCRs. These differences suggest parallel converging evolutionary tracks to reach the required diversity to avoid holes in the CDR3 repertoire.

摘要

T细胞和B细胞受体(TCR和BCR)互补决定区3(CDR3)的基因多样性是通过多个多样化和选择阶段产生的。有人认为CDR3库中的潜在漏洞与免疫缺陷和疾病有关。与BCR不同,TCR实际上没有Dβ种系基因多样性,于是就出现了它们是否能产生多样化的CDR3库的问题。为了研究适应性免疫系统的基因多样性,需要有适用于多样性的定量方法和大规模测序技术。这样一种多样性方法应纳入适应性免疫反应的复杂多样化机制以及BCR和TCR基因座结构。我们结合大规模测序和多样性测量方法,以表明TCR具有近乎最大的CDR3基因多样性。具体而言,TCR具有更大的连接多样性和V种系多样性,其在Vβ中比BCR从更靠近5'端的位置开始。选择会降低TCR库的多样性,但不影响BCR库。结果,TCR与BCR库一样多样,只是CDR3长度存在偏向性,TCR偏向短长度,BCR偏向长长度。这些差异表明存在平行的趋同进化轨迹,以达到所需的多样性,从而避免CDR3库中出现漏洞。
