Figure Lengend Snippet: A . Schematic of experimental layout. B . Pooled CD8+ T cell lines from 3 healthy donors were split into three different fractions and stained with low, intermediate, or high tetramer concentration. From samples stained with low and intermediate tetramer concentration, live CD3+ CD8+ T cells were sorted from the 90th percentile tetramer(+) gates. Shown here is the cumulative clone count in the 90th percentile gates (y-axis) plotted against maximum enrichment score out of the 11 calculated for each clone (x-axis). Symbol size corresponds to clone count in tetramer-negative gate. Symbol color indicates clone abundance in the single cell TCR dataset (low tetramer concentration condition). High affinity TCRs have high cumulative clone count, high maximum enrichment score, and small symbol size. SumSort = total number in top 10% tetramer binder gate (i.e. 90th percentile) in the 1:2000 + 1:4000 tetramer staining condition. MaxFold = greatest value for fold enrichment (out of the calculated 11). C . Top 14 T cell receptors were virally transduced into human primary T cells in 2 donors. TCR-transduced cells were stimulated with different amounts of VP1(100-108) peptide and tested for intracellular INF- γ content as ratio of positive control (max). EC50 (M) scores populated in tabular format.

doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114705

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Heatmap showing MetaNeighbor’s AUROC scores between thymocytes split by donor, lineage, and non-effector (c0–11) versus effector (c12–17) clusters. Barplots indicate thymocyte proportions per lineage. (B) Pseudo-bulk differential expression analysis between CD4 + /iNKT and CD8 + /MAIT thymocytes in naive clusters (3, 9, 10, 11). As a negative control, the only three genes that were differentially expressed between CD4 + /MAIT and CD8 + /iNKT thymocytes are displayed in the center of the heatmap. (C) Pseudo-bulk differential expression analysis between CD4 + /CD8 + and iNKT/MAIT thymocytes in naive clusters (3, 9, 10, 11). For both (B) and (C), heatmap displays the expression level of genes (represented with color scale as a Z score of the average normalized expression) that are significantly differentially expressed ( p adj < 0.01). (D) Clustering of hashtag-separated thymic iNKT cells (top), MAIT cells (middle), and γδ T cells (bottom). Right panel shows the score of type I and type III effector gene signature for the corresponding thymic lineage. (E) Kernel density estimates of the normalized expression level of genes of interest. The expression level distribution varies between genes and lineage. The range of kernel density estimate values also varies between each panel (from 0 to 0.04 for the smallest range and 0 to 0.4 for the largest range). A unique color scale was represented to indicate the direction of the values.
