On the basis of both modelization and in-silico experiments and on the analysis of large cohorts of HIV patients, this study demonstrated the link between the number of peptides involved in thymic T-cell development and the ability of the TCR repertoire selected to cross-react and to control viral infection.

In this study, an elegant optimization of the anchored PCR by sample partitioning was reported to reduce molecular biases and improve the detection of lowfrequency clonotypes.

Here, the TCR repertoire diversity is analyzed in naive and Ag-experienced CD4 and CD8 T cells isolated ex vivo. Compared with previous two studies [40,41] based on mRNA/cDNA sequencing, this study presents the advantage to address the TCR sequences at the DNA level allowing an evaluation of their relative frequency within T-cell population. On the basis of sequences analysis and unseen species model, the entire TRB repertoire was estimated at 3-4 million CDR3 sequences.

One TRBV-TRBJ rearrangement was analyzed by deep sequencing in naive and memory T cells from four individuals. More than 100 000 and 200 000 sequences were obtained in each compartment, respectively. A high degree of overlap was observed between individuals and between T-cell populations within one individual. The degree of CDR3 sequence sharing was correlated with its frequency in both naive and memory pool, which is influenced by convergent recombination.
