Figure 3. Comparison of the compositions of the Vβ10+ TCRβ repertoires involved in the CD8+ T cell responses to the gB-8p epitope in the HSV-1, Lm-gB, and VACV-gB infections.

Figure 3

Shown are the proportion of the gB-8p specific Vβ10+ TCRβ repertoires in each mouse, within an infection group, with a particular CDR3β length (A) and using a particular Jβ gene (B). The CDR3β length refers here to the length of the sequence inclusive of the conserved cysteine in the Vβ-region and the conserved phenylalanine in the Jβ-region, as shown in Table II. The mice in each infection group are shown in numerical order of their mouse numbers (i.e. Mouse 1, Mouse 2, ...), from left to right. The gB-8p specific Vβ10+ TCRβ clonotypes for all mice in each infection group were pooled to compare the proportion of gB-8p specific Vβ10+ TCRβ clonotypes with a particular CDR3β length (C) and using a particular Jβ gene (D) between the HSV-1, Lm-gB, and VACV-gB infections.
