“…Expanded clones followed pseudotime trajectory analysis and displayed intra-clonal plasticity: less expanded clones spread among heterogenous subsets, while highly expanded clones were found in the homogenous cluster of CD4-IELs. A possible explanation for this finding is that the less expanded clones lacked additional signals, such as TCR ligands or environmental components, required for full differentiation into CD4-IELs (Cervantes- Barragan et al, 2017;Cortez et al, 2014;Mucida et al, 2013;Reis et al, 2014;. The clonal analyses presented here, including the TCR sharing of CD4-IELs derived from Treg or from Tconv, corroborate previous studies suggesting a lineage relationship between Tregs and IELs (Bilate et al, 2016;Sujino et al, 2016).…”
