Comprehensive assessment of T-cell receptor β-chain diversity in αβ T cells

TLDR
A novel experimental and computational approach is developed to measure TCR CDR3 diversity based on single-molecule DNA sequencing, and it is found that total TCRbeta receptor diversity is at least 4-fold higher than previous estimates, and the diversity in the subset of CD45RO(+) antigen-experienced alphabeta T cells is at at least 10-foldHigher than previously estimates.

Mismatch repair deficiency predicts response of solid tumors to PD-1 blockade

TL;DR: Evaluating the efficacy of PD-1 blockade in patients with advanced mismatch repair–deficient cancers across 12 different tumor types showed that colorectal cancers with mismatch repair deficiency were sensitive to immune checkpoint blockade with antibodies to programmed death receptor–1 (PD-1).

Next-generation DNA sequencing.

TL;DR: Next-generation DNA sequencing has the potential to dramatically accelerate biological and biomedical research, by enabling the comprehensive analysis of genomes, transcriptomes and interactomes to become inexpensive, routine and widespread, rather than requiring significant production-scale efforts.

The Relation Between the Number of Species and the Number of Individuals in a Random Sample of an Animal Population

TL;DR: It is shown that in a large collection of Lepidoptera captured in Malaya the frequency of the number of species represented by different numbers of individuals fitted somewhat closely to a hyperbola type of curve, so long as only the rarer species were considered.

T-cell antigen receptor genes and T-cell recognition.

TL;DR: This view of T-cell recognition has implications for how the receptors might be selected in the thymus and how they (and immunoglobulins) may have arisen during evolution.

How TCRs Bind MHCs, Peptides, and Coreceptors

TL;DR: The structural basis for MHC restriction and signaling remains elusive as no structural features that define a common binding mode or signaling mechanism have yet been gleaned from the current set of TCR/pMHC complexes.

A Direct Estimate of the Human αβ T Cell Receptor Diversity

TL;DR: TCR gene amplification and sequencing showed that the naive repertoire is highly diverse, whereas the memory compartment, here one-third of the T cell population, contributes less than 1 percent of the total diversity.
