Fig. 1. Preference in the selection of complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) of T cell receptor (TCR)-β of all identified HLA-A24-restricted CMV-pp65-specific cytotoxic T-cell (CMV-CTL) clones.

Fig. 1

a A circos plot showing a skewed preference in the selection of BV and BJ genes of all CMV-CTL clones. b A column chart for the amino acid (AA) length of all CMV-CTL clones. c AA sequence logos in all CMV-CTLs observed after allo-HCT with 17, 16, 15, or 14 AA-long TCRβ-CDR3, and logos in the groups divided according to AA length and CMV reactivation pattern (n = 10 in the no-CMV reactivation group, n = 9 in the one-episode group, and n = 7 in the repeated-CMV reactivation group). X-axis denotes the position of amino acids from the N- to C- terminal.
