Vα14tg.CD1d−/− DN T cells have diverse CDR3 sequences. Vβ8.1- (n = 35), Vβ8.2- (n = 58), and Vβ12-CDR3 (n = 96) sequences amplified by RT-PCR from sorted Vα14tg.CD1d −/− DN T cells were cloned and sequenced. (A) Bar graphs of CDR3 lengths (a.a., amino acid). (B) Frequencies of Jβ usage expressed as percentage of total sequences. Note that a similar bias in Jβ2 cluster usage has been reported for conventional T cells. (C) Number of unique and duplicate sequences among Vβ8.1, Vβ8.2, and Vβ12.
