The table shows the total overview of unique TCRαβ paired sequences generated from high-throughput sequencing of HLA-DQ2.2:DQ2.2-glut-L1 tetramer-sorted single T cells and/or by Sanger sequencing of DQ2.2-glut-L1–specific TCCs. Due to uncertainty in the allele assignment in the TCRαβ sequences generated from single-cell TCR sequencing approach, the alleles for the V, D, and J genes are not shown for the TCRαβ sequences observed only in the single-cell TCR sequencing data. Three TCRαβ sequences generated from single-cell TCR sequencing (nos. 2, 14, and 17) were also found to be expressed by the DQ2.2-glut-L1–specific TCCs, which are mentioned in rightmost column. Two of the TCRαβ sequences (nos. 11 and 20) were observed only by Sanger sequencing of DQ2.2-glut-L1–specific TCCs (last column) and not observed in TCR sequencing data of HLA-DQ2.2:DQ2.2-glut-L1 tetramer sorted cells.
By performing Sanger sequencing, we observed that TCC594.5.2.6 expresses single TCRα chain (TRAV9-2*01/TRAJ57*01). However, by performing single-cell TCR sequencing, we were able to identify T cells that expressed an additional TCRα chain (TRAV27/TRAJ21).
