Journal ArticleDOI

Reprogramming human T cell function and specificity with non-viral genome targeting

TL;DR: A non-viral strategy to introduce large DNA sequences into T cells enables the correction of a pathogenic mutation that causes autoimmunity, and the replacement of an endogenous T-cell receptor with an engineered receptor that can recognize cancer antigens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide CRISPR Screens in Primary Human T Cells Reveal Key Regulators of Immune Function

TL;DR: A new method, single guide RNA (sgRNA) lentiviral infection with Cas9 protein electroporation (SLICE) with single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed signature stimulation-response gene programs altered by key genetic perturbations in primary human T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

McPAS-TCR: a manually curated catalogue of pathology-associated T cell receptor sequences.

TL;DR: The McPAS‐TCR database currently contains more than 5000 sequences of TCRs associated with various pathologic conditions and their respective antigens in humans and in mice and provides interesting insights on pathology‐associated TCR sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

T-cell receptor repertoires share a restricted set of public and abundant CDR3 sequences that are associated with self-related immunity

TL;DR: It is suggested that biases and convergence in TCR recombination combine with ongoing selection to generate a restricted subset of self-associated, public CDR3 TCR sequences, and invite reexamination of the basic mechanisms of T-cell repertoire formation.
