Germline-encoded V(D)J gene usage does not impose strict constraints on the epitope-specificity of T cell receptors
Diversity of epitope-specific TCRs is not limited by distinct germline combinations, but rather can emerge from a near-to-complete combinatorial space of α- and β-chain, V and J segments paired with compatible CDR3 sequences.
