AEGIS reveals epitope- and clone-resolved convergence of CNS B and T cell autoreactivity in ROHHAD

Aaron Bodansky, Vida Ahyong, Monica T. Dayao, James Asaki, ShiLu Vanasupa, Ravi Dandekar, Shini Chen, Joe Sabatino, Sam Klauer, Giselle M. Knudsen, Carlos Lizama Valenzuela, Krista Mccutcheon, Kelsey Zorn, Sukhman Sidhu, David Yu, , Joseph L. DeRisi

AEGIS identifies epitope- and clone-specific autoimmunity in ROHHAD by linking immune repertoires to self-epitopes, revealing convergence on ZSCAN1 epitopes in the CNS.

Antigen-specificity of clonally-enriched CD8+ T cells in multiple sclerosis

Fumie Hayashi, Kristen Mittl, Ravi Dandekar, Josiah Gerdts, Ebtesam Hassan, Ryan D. Schubert, Lindsay Oshiro, Rita P. Loudermilk, Ariele L. Greenfield, Danillo G. Augusto, Gregory C Havton, Shriya Anumarlu, Arhan Surapaneni, Akshaya Ramesh, Edwina B. Tran, , Joseph J. Sabatino

Paired CSF and blood scRNA/TCR-seq in treatment-naive MS shows a small set of expanded, cytotoxic CSF-enriched CD8+ clonotypes, two of which recognize EBV epitopes.
