Preferential TCR usage in blister cells and PBMC from patients with SJS/TEN. The PBMC and blister cells were isolated from patients with SJS/TEN caused by carbamazepine (CBZ; n = 18), oxcarbazepine (OXC; n = 3), lamotrigine (LTG; n = 4), phenytoin (PHT; n = 6), or allopurinol (ALP; n = 10). The expression profiles of TCR repertoire in the samples were analyzed by next-generation sequencing. a Heatmaps display the expression values of the TRBV genes from each sample, which were normalized to the mean values of the corresponding gene of the healthy donors’ PBMC (n = 44), respectively. The definition of TRBV and TRBJ was based on the IMGT (ImMunoGeneTics) database. b Principal component analysis (PCA) of TRBV gene usage across samples from patients (n = 41) with SJS/TEN caused by different drugs, and healthy donors (n = 44)
