CDR3β sequences of TCRs of K6, E6, or D6 peptide-specific CTLs

TCRα^−/−TgVα2⁺ mice were immunized with the K6, E6, or D6 peptide, and TCR CDR3β sequences of CTLs were determined after 1 week in vitro culture. The single-letter amino acid code is used for all listed sequences. The conserved amino acid(s) is shown in boldface. Amino acids preceding “LCAS” of Vβ and following the highly conserved “FG” of Jβ are not shown. Freq. (frequency) column shows the number of times each amino acid sequence was obtained and the total number of sequences analyzed from that mouse.
