Figure 6. Preferential T cell subsets with higher usage of T cell receptor (TCR) Vβ families
Usage of TCR Vβ families was compared between conventional and regulatory T cells, and the T cell subsets with higher usage of TCR Vβ families were defined as preferential T cell subsets. Red color or pink color indicates a preferential subset, while blue color or light blue color indicates a decreased subset. White color indicates no preference between conventional and regulatory T cells. Con T, conventional T cell; Reg T, regulatory T cell. Wilcoxon signed-rank test: pink-light blue,p < 0.05; red-blue, p < 0.001.
