Rabbit TRAV41 shows features typical of iTRA chains. (A) Frequency of the VJL (TRAV/TRAJ/CDR3 length) combinations in repertoires sequenced from the blood cells of three independent rabbits. The relative frequency of VJL in each animal is denoted by a given color, and the frequency sequence logo of the CDR3 sequences encoded in the VJL is represented on the right. The unique VJL in which TRAV41 is implicated is ranked first according to the cumulative frequency over the three rabbits, and is well distributed between the individuals; the following less abundant VJL combinations use TRAV22 associated with different TRAJ segments, and encode CDR3 of variable sequence. They represent a minor fraction (0.2–4.5%) of transcripts comprising TRAV22, whereas VJL#1 represents a major fraction (≈70%) of transcripts comprising TRAV41. (B) Location of the TRAV41 within the TRA/D locus is on rabbit chromosome 17 (Chr17).
