Figure 5.

V-(D)-J junctional region sequences of α (a) and β (b) chains expressed by triple-peptide (RAK/RSK/RRK), double-peptide (RAK/RSK/*), or single-peptide (RAK/*/*) reactive CTL clones generated from an HLA-B8⁺ healthy virus carrier SP. A translated amino acid sequence is shown above each corresponding nucleotide sequence that extended at least 70 nucleotides further 5′ of the sequence shown. CTL clones are listed on the ordinate and those expressing identical TCR sequences are grouped together. For each clone, the deduced amino acid sequence of the CDR3 loop is shown putatively supported by two framework branches (FW) and the CDR3 amino acid length is reported. For certain clones only the α chain or β chain sequence was determined.
