The two main lineages of T lymphocytes develop from multi potent precursors in the human thymus. The most common type in blood are αβ T cells, which bind to antigenic peptides displayed on the surface of cells by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules. Far less well understood are γδ T cells, which do not bind HLA: peptide complexes and are more prevalent in the gut mucosa. For both lineages, their ability to recognize a diverse array of antigens is mediated by a rearranged Y-like receptor on their surface, the T cell receptor (TCR), composed and of an α and β chain for αβ T cells or a γ and δ chain for γδ T cells. The canonical model for commitment from the precursor to one these two lineages assumes that γ, δ, and β chains rearrange prior to commitment to αβ or γδ T cells. A crucial step towards better understanding the role of γδ T cells is to work out the developmental process. To test the standard model and to understand the γδ TCR repertoire, we use high-throughput sequencing to catalog millions of TCRγ and TCRβ chains from peripheral blood αβ and γδ T cells, from three unrelated individuals. Almost all sampled αβ and γδ T cells have rearranged TCRγ sequences. While sampled αβ T cells have a diverse repertoire of rearranged TCRβ chains, less than 10% of γδ T cells in peripheral blood have a rearranged TCRβ chain. Our data indicate that TCRγ rearranges in all T lymphocytes, consistent with TCRγ rearranging prior to T cell lineage commitment, while rearrangement of the TCRβ locus is restricted, and occurs after T cell precursors commit to the αβ T cell lineage. This result explains the conundrum in T cell leukemia and lymphoma that TCRγ is almost always rearranged and TCRβ is only rearranged in a subset of cancers. As high-throughput sequencing of TCRs is translated into the clinic for monitoring minimal residual for leukemia/lymphoma, our data suggests the sequencing target needs to be TCR γ.
