Figure 3. Rank – frequency analysis of clonotype distributions in CD107 and CD8 recall repertoires from UPN13.

Figure 3

A. Rank – frequency plot of CD107 positive cells isolated after reactivation of a two week recall culture for the four subjects analyzed. Line is fit to a power law for the entire dataset. B. Natural log transformation of the rank-frequency data. The natural log of the rank and the rank frequency are plotted on the X- and Y-axes respectively. For three subjects, the data can be divided into two components, a portion described by a linear decrease in the frequency and a portion consisting of a few high ranking clonotypes. The slope of the first component is shown.
