TCR repertoires of CD4 SP thymocytes derived from T-T or T-E interactions without Vβ fixation. (a) CDR3α length distribution of the CD4 SP thymocytes pooled from two T-T TCR^mini mice and two T-E TCR^mini mice with a wide range of Vβ elements (referred to as T-T_Op and T-E_Op, respectively) compared with T-T TCR^mini and T-E TCR^mini mice with fixation (referred to as T-T_Fix and T-E_Fix, respectively) (numbers of total thymocytes in T-T_Op: 6.28 × 10⁷ and 7.03 × 10⁷, T-E_Op: 3.88 × 10⁷ and 7.58 × 10⁷; numbers of CD4 SP thymocytes in the thymus in T-T_Op mice: 8.2 × 10⁴ and 38.3 × 10⁴, T-E_Op mice: 24.6 × 10⁴ and 19.1 × 10⁴). (b) The total number of unique sequences obtained from the CD4 SP thymocytes of the T-T TCR^mini and T-E TCR^mini mice was assessed based on the number of unique sequences observed (Obs) and the ACE. The empirical P-values were estimated from a one-tailed permutation test.
