Figure 2. Both of naive and memory CD4+ T cells in RA-PB had many ECs.

Figure 2

Naïve and memory CD4+ T cells were sorted from the PB of 4 RA patients and 5 healthy controls and the NGS TCR repertoire analysis was performed. (A) Rate of expanded clones (clones with more than 0.2% or 0.1% of total number of reads with functional CDR3 sequences). The cumulative read count of ECs was divided by the total number of reads with functional CDR3 sequences. (B) Rate of clones that were shared by both the naive and memory CD4+ T cell subset. The cumulative read count of shared clones was divided by the total number of reads with functional CDR3 sequences. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005.
