TCR clonotype sequences from acute IM donors.

TCR CDR3 region sequences of selected Vβ expansions that were found by direct sequencing and recombinant cloning to be monoclonal (see “Materials and methods”). TCR Vβ and Jβ gene elements were assigned according to Arden et al52 and Toyonaga et al,53 respectively. FW signifies framework branches that putatively support the CDR3 region. Nucleotide sequences of each these clones are available from EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ under accession numbersAJ308532 to AJ308537.
