The TCR δ Repertoire in Normal Human Skin is Restricted and Distinct from the TCR δ Repertoire in the Peripheral Blood
Open accessAbstract
The skin and the intestinal mucosa form surfaces to external environments and share similarities in anatomic structure and immunologic defense. In healthy humans, intestinal gamma/delta T cells express a highly restricted gamma/delta T cell receptor repertoire whereas gamma/delta T cells of the skin were thought to express a polyclonal repertoire. Herein we report, using complementarity-determining region 3 size spectratyping and nucleotide sequencing of T cell receptor DV1 and DV2 rearrangements, that the human skin is also composed of clonally expanded gamma/delta T cells that are widely distributed. Identical complementarity-determining region 3 profiles and T cell receptor delta rearrangements were found in two separate skin samples that were obtained as far as 2-10 cm apart. Furthermore, analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells of these subjects clearly demonstrated that the skin harbors a unique population of gamma/delta T cells that is distinct from that in the peripheral blood. In addition comparable data were obtained irrespective of whether DNA or RNA was analyzed, indicating that the observed oligoclonality is not secondary to the expression of large amounts of mRNA from a few activated cells. Thus, gamma/delta T cells of the skin and the intestine both express an oligoclonal repertoire that enables them to respond to a variety of deleterious antigens without the need for diverse T cell receptors, possibly by recognition of stress-induced self-antigens or of conserved foreign antigens.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
