Project description:We tested orphan TCR autoreactivity using the peptide MHC-TCR chimeric receptor (MCR) co-culture system. In this system, cognate antigen recognition leads to TCR specific NFAT activation in MCR reporter cells expressing a mouse I-Ab MHC class II extracellular domain covalently linked to candidate peptides and an intracellular TCR signaling domain. We used mixed autoimmune bone marrow chimera spleens and kidneys as sources of cDNA to generate a transcriptome-wide library of natural autoantigen peptides . We cloned this cDNA-derived peptide (CDP) autoantigen library into the MCR retroviral backbone and transduced NFAT reporter cells to make a murine autoantigen MCR reporter library (MCR-Lib). We then used this library to screen orphan TCRs identified by scTCR-seq for autoreactivity.

Project description:We introduced single-chain trimer (SCT) technologies into a high throughput platform for pMHC library generation that can be used for screening antigen specific CD8+ T cells. We compared the diversity of T cell receptor repertoire captured by SCT and folded peptide-MHC multimer presenting HLA-A02:01 restricted CMV peptide. We then constructed SCT libraries designed to capture SARS-CoV-2 spike specific CD8+ T cells from COVID-19 participants and healthy donors. TCR sequencing with antigen specificity was analyzed. The immunogenicity of these epitopes was validated by functional assays of T cells with cloned TCRs captured using SCT libraries.

Project description:This study aimed to compare the TCRab repertoires from CD8 T cell subsets in a different T cell progression stage in Themis-sufficient and Themis-deficient mice. Analysis of the NGS-derived data revealed an overall reduction of the TCRa repertoire diversity in Themis's absence. In contrast, the CD8 compartment bearing the Va3.2 TCRs in the Themis-deficient model retains higher diversity than the repertoire from the Themis-sufficient counterpart. Furthermore, analysis of CDR3 peptide sequences of Va3.2+ and Va3.2- TCRs disclose the greater contribution of the hydrophobic residues in the former repertoires, indicating enhanced self-reactivity within this CD8+ T cell fraction.

Project description:A major unanswered question is how a TCR discriminates between foreign and self-peptides presented on the APC surface. Here, we used in situ fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to measure the distances of single TCR-pMHC bonds and the conformations of individual TCR-CD3? receptors at the membranes of live primary T cells. We found that a TCR discriminates between closely related peptides by forming single TCR-pMHC bonds with different conformations, and the most potent pMHC forms the shortest bond. The bond conformation is an intrinsic property that is independent of the binding affinity and kinetics, TCR microcluster formation, and CD4 binding. The bond conformation dictates the degree of CD3? dissociation from the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane via a positive calcium signaling feedback loop to precisely control the accessibility of CD3? ITAMs for phosphorylation. Our data revealed the mechanism by which a TCR deciphers the structural differences among peptides via the TCR-pMHC bond conformation.

Project description:T cell receptors (TCRs) are generated by somatic recombination of V/D/J segments to produce up to 1015 unique sequences. Highly sensitive and specific techniques are required to isolate and identify the rare TCR sequences that respond to antigens of interest. Here, we describe the use of mRNA sequencing via Crosslinker regulated Intracellular phenotype (CLInt-Seq) for efficient recovery of antigen-specific TCRs in cells stained for combinations of intracellular proteins such as cytokines or transcription factors. This method enables high-throughput identification and isolation of low frequency TCRs specific for any antigen. As a proof-of-principle, intracellular staining for TNFα and IFNγ identified Cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus reactive TCRs with efficiencies similar to state-of-the-art peptide-MHC multimer methodology. In a separate experiment, regulatory T cells were profiled based on intracellular FOXP3 staining, demonstrating the ability to examine phenotypes based on transcription factors. We further optimized the intracellular staining conditions to use a chemically-cleavable primary amine crosslinker compatible with current single-cell sequencing technology. CLInt-Seq for TNFα and IFNγ staining followed by single-cell sequencing performed similarly to isolation with multimer staining for Epstein-Barr virus reactive TCRs. We anticipate CLInt-Seq will enable droplet based single cell mRNA analysis from any tissue where minor populations need to be isolated by intracellular markers.

Project description:During T cell development in the thymus, negative selection eliminates autoreactive and potentially harmful T cells, leading to central tolerance. This process, involves specific apoptosis programs thought to be governed by the transcription factor Nur77. To analyze the genetic pathways involved in thymic negative selection and to point to new genes involved in thymic selection, we performed a high throughput temporal expression profiling of thymocytes from HNT-TCR transgenic mice undergoing specific peptide-mediated thymic negative selection, using oligonucleotide microarrays. We used HNT-TCR transgenic mice that are on a B10D2 background and express a transgenic TCR (V beta 8), specific for the HA peptide (HNTNGVTAACSHE) presented by MHC class II I-A^d. In this model of thymic negative selection, a single injection of the specific HA peptide induces massive and synchronized deletion of thymocytes. In this study, we analyzed the dynamically regulated genes over a 24 hours period, with a focus on the early time points of 3 and 6 hours after peptide injection.

Project description:The interaction between the clonotypic ?? T cell receptor (TCR), expressed on the T cell surface, and peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) molecules, expressed on the target cell surface, governs T cell mediated autoimmunity and immunity against pathogens and cancer. Structural investigations of this interaction have been limited because of the challenges inherent in the production of good quality TCR/pMHC protein crystals. Here, we report the development of an 'intelligently designed' crystallization screen that reproducibly generates high quality TCR/pMHC complex crystals suitable for X-ray crystallographic studies, thereby reducing protein consumption. Over the last 2 years, we have implemented this screen to produce 32 T cell related protein structures at high resolution, substantially contributing to the current immune protein database. Protein crystallography, used to study this interaction, has already extended our understanding of the molecular rules that govern T cell immunity. Subsequently, these data may help to guide the intelligent design of T cell based therapies that target human diseases, underlining the importance of developing optimized approaches for crystallizing novel TCR/pMHC complexes.

Project description:The pre-T cell receptor (pre-TCR) guides early thymocytes through maturation processes within the thymus via interaction with self-ligands displayed on thymic epithelial cells. The pre-TCR is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of an invariant pre-TCR ? (pT?) subunit and a variable ? subunit, the latter of which is incorporated into the mature TCR in subsequent developmental progression. This interaction of pre-TCR with peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) molecules has recently been shown to drive robust pre-TCR signaling and thymocyte maturation. Although the native sequences of ? are properly folded and suitable for NMR studies in isolation, a tendency to self-associate rendered binding studies with physiological ligands difficult to interpret. Consequently, to structurally define this critical interaction, we have re-engineered the extracellular regions of ?, designated as ?-c1, for prokaryotic production to be used in NMR spectroscopy. Given the large size of the full extracellular domain of class I MHC molecules such as H-Kb, we produced a truncated form termed Kb-t harboring properties favorable for NMR measurements. This system has enabled robust measurement of a pre-TCR-pMHC interaction directly analogous to that of TCR??-pMHC. Binding surface analysis identified a contact surface comparable in size to that of the TCR??-pMHC but potentially with a rather distinct binding orientation. A tilting of the pre-TCR? when bound to the pMHC ligand recognition surface versus the upright orientation of TCR?? would alter the direction of force application between pre-TCR and TCR mechanosensors, impacting signal initiation.
