Three other active TB patients shared the VDJ repertoire, the common CDR3 amino acid motifs of the α/β chains (AV12-3*01/AMSA of patient 10 with the TCR α chain of the eu-tetramer and AV12-3*01/AVRD of patients 5 and 10 with the TCR α chain of the hu-tetramer, respectively, as well as BV29-1*01/TQY of patient 9 and BV29-1*01/ETQY of patient 10 with the TCR β chains of the eu- and hu-tetramers, respectively), and HLA-DRB1 alleles (DRB1*150101 and DRB1*0818/*0806, DRB1*1503/*1504 and DRB1*03, and DRB1*1503/*1504 and DRB1*02023 in patients 5, 9 and 10, respectively). Here, HLA-DRB1 is linked to tuberculosis.
