TCR sequencing of Treg and Tconv subsets from murine spleen
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: While unique subsets of Treg cells have been described in some non-lymphoid tissues, their relationship to Treg cells in secondary lymphoid organs and circulation remains unclear. We have identified a recirculating and highly suppressive effector Treg cell subset that expresses the α2 integrin, CD49b, and exhibits a unique tissue distribution. We used TCR sequencing to ask whether CD49b+ activated Treg cells and CD49b− activated Treg cells represent stable states of Treg cell differentiation instructed by distinct TCR repertoires. We did not find a pattern of clonotypes that was specific to either subset, suggesting that essentially all CD49b− Treg cells could give rise to CD49b+ cells. These results shed light on the identity and development of a functionally potent subset of mature effector Treg cells that recirculate through and survey peripheral tissues.
