ABSTRACT
Profiling the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire using next-generation sequencing has become common in both human and translational research. Companion dogs with spontaneous tumors, including canine melanoma, share several features, e.g., natural occurrence, shared environmental exposures, natural outbred population, and immunocompetence. T cells play an important role in the adaptive immune system by recognizing specific antigens via a surface TCR. As such, understanding the canine T cell response to vaccines, cancer, immunotherapies, and infectious diseases is critically important for both dog and human health. Off-the-shelf commercial reagents, kits and services are readily available for human, non-human primate, and mouse in this context. However, these resources are limited for the canine. In this study, we present a cost-effective protocol for analysis of canine TCR beta chain genes. Workflow can be accomplished in 1-2 days starting with total RNA and resulting in libraries ready for sequencing on Illumina platforms.
