The splenic T cell receptor repertoire during an immune response against a complex antigen: Expanding private clones accumulate in the high and low copy number region.

Large cellular antigens comprise a variety of different epitopes leading to a T cell response of extreme diversity. Therefore, tracking such a response by next generation sequencing of the T cell receptor (TCR) in order to identify common TCR properties among the expanding T cells represents an enor...
