Abstract
TCR repertoire diversity is important for the protective efficacy of CD8(+) T cells, limiting viral escape and cross-reactivity between unrelated epitopes. The exact mechanism for selection of restricted versus diverse TCR repertoires is far from clear, although one thought is that the epitopes resembling self-peptides might select a limited array of TCR due to the deletion of autoreactive TCR. The molecule Aire promotes the expression of tissue-specific Ag on thymic medullary epithelial cells and the deletion of autoreactive cells, and in the absence of Aire autoreactive cells persist. However, the contribution of Aire-dependent peptides to the selection of the Ag-specific TCR repertoire remains unknown. In this study, we dissect restricted (D(b)NP(366)%(+)CD8(+)) and diverse (D(b)PA(224)%(+)CD8(+), K(d)NP(147)%(+)CD8(+)) TCR repertoires responding to three influenza-derived peptides in Aire-deficient mice on both B6 and BALB/c backgrounds. Our study shows that the number, qualitative characteristics and TCR repertoires of all influenza-specific, D(b)NP(366)%(+)CD8(+), D(b)PA(224)%(+)CD8(+) and K(d)NP(147)%(+)CD8(+) T cells are not significantly altered in the absence of Aire. This provides the first demonstration that the selection of an Ag-specific T-cell repertoire is not significantly perturbed in the absence of Aire.
