| Abstract | Gamma delta T cells comprise the majority of blood T cells in ruminants at birth and remain at high levels for several years with most expressing the WC1 co-receptor. A subpopulation of Bos taurus WC1+ cells expressing a restricted set of WC1 molecules respond immediately by proliferation and interferon-γ production to leptospira following vaccination, preceding the response by CD4 T cells. Our goal is to define the γδ T cell recognition elements involved. Previously, we showed that the responding cells employed a variety of TRDV genes indicating that the CDR1 and CDR2 of TCRδ could vary and may not be principally involved in antigen specificity. Murine and human γδ T cells bind T22 and self lipids through their CDR3δ. Like mice, cattle use up to five TRDD genes in a single CDR3δ adding flexibility to length and configuration for antigen binding. Here, we used spectratyping to evaluate the CDR3δ of leptopsira-responsive cells. Little or no compartmentalization of CDR3δ was found for antigen-responsive cells that incorporated TRDV1, TRDV2, or TRDV3 even though they comprise the majority of the leptospira-responding population. Compartmentalization occurred for TRDV4-containing transcripts and was maintained over time and among cattle. However, no common amino acid motif was apparent in those CDR3δ sequences, although a bias in D gene usage occurred. We hypothesize that the restricted set of WC1 co-receptors expressed by the responding cells may lend specificity to the response through their ability to bind bacteria facilitating interaction of various TCRs with bacterial components resulting in cross-linking and activation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
