Highly oligoclonal CD8+ T-cell receptor β variable region (TCRVb) repertoire early in immune reconstitution in patients, who were in remission after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), (Patterns A and B) compared with high TCRVb diversity in the patient who relapsed (Pattern C). Patient 1 (a) and patient 2 (b) TCRVb CDR3 length spectratyping for respective TCRVb falling into pattern A (left) and pattern B (right); TCRVb as labelled; samples tested for patient 1: before and 1 and 12 months after ASCT and for patient 2: before and 23·5 months after ASCT. (c) TCRVb CDR3 length spectratyping in same Vb families before and 3 months after ASCT in patient 3 (pattern C).
