Fig. 6. T cell repertoire and dynamic changes.
a Pairwise overlap circos plot showing total numbers of clonotypes shared between samples in 16 patients. b Abundances of top 20 most frequent TCR clonotypes in each patient pre- and post-treatment. c Correlation between clone expansion scores (CE scores) and percentages of pathological regression. The correlation was accessed by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (rho). The regression line is red and the shading indicates the 95% confidence interval. d Proportion of four TCR clonotypes classified by their frequency (hyperexpanded, >0.01 and ≤1; large, >0.001 and ≤0.1; medium, >0.0001 and ≤0.001; small, ≤0.0001). Black lines highlight changes in proportions of hyperexpanded clones. e Changes in four TCR clonotypes from pre- to post-treatment in PPR+ (top, n = 4) and non-PPR+ (bottom, n = 6) patients. Two-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for comparison. f-g Differences of TRBV (f) and TRBJ (g) segment usages from pre- to post-treatment samples.
