The preferentially selected TRBV5.1 and BV20 with the relatively conserved CDR3 motif may be potential targets for personalized treatments of chronic HBV infection. TRBV11, BV15 and BV20, especially from the CD8 + T-cell subset, may be relevant to the pathogenesis of subjects with AHI. These results demonstrate the presence of multiple biased TRBV families in recovered AHI subjects.

The relatively conserved amino acid motifs of TRBV5.1 and BV20 CDR3 were also detected in the CD4 + and CD8 + T-cell subsets. Compared to other members of the TRBV gene family, TRBV11, BV15 and BV20 were predominantly expressed in the repertoire of peripheral blood lymphocytes in recovered AHI subjects. The frequency of monoclonally expanded TRBV genes in the CD8 + T-cell subset was significantly higher than that of the CD4 + T-cell subset and the PBMCs. Skewed expansions of multiple TRBV genes were observed among the CD4 + and CD8 + T-cell subsets and the PBMCs. When a GMSP profile showed a single peak, the monoclonally expanded TRBV gene was cloned and sequenced. The molecular features of the TRBV complementary determining region 3 (CDR3) motifs were determined using GMSP analysis. To explore the portrait of the TRBV family in peripheral blood lymphocytes from subjects who have recovered from acute hepatitis B virus infection (AHI), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were separated and further sorted into CD4 + and CD8 + T-cell subsets. The gene melting spectral pattern (GMSP) can be used to determine the profile of the TRBV gene family. The profile of T-cell receptor beta-chain variable (TRBV) genes usually skews in subjects with virus infection or cancer.
