Figure 3.
The choroid plexus exhibits distinct TCR profiles compared to other MRL/lpr tissues. (A) Frequency of CDR3 lengths compared to Gaussian distributions in MRL/lpr choroid plexus (left), salivary gland (middle), and spleen (right) TCR repertoires. (B) Selective increased TCRB V gene usage in MRL/lpr choroid plexus tissue. (C) Specific decreased TCRB V gene usage in MRL/lpr choroid plexus tissue. (D) Frequency of TCRB D (top) and J gene (bottom) usage in MRL/lpr tissues. P-values determined by one-way ANOVAs, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.
