The TCR repertoire of α-synuclein-specific T cells in Parkinson’s disease is surprisingly diverse

Abstract The self-antigen α-synuclein (α-syn) was recently shown to be associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here we mapped the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of α-syn-specific T cells from six PD patients. The self-antigen α-syn-specific repertoire was compared to the repertoire of T cells sp...
