From: Oligoclonal immunoglobulin repertoire in biliary remnants of biliary atresia
CDR3 sequence variation between biliary remnants. (a) There was little sequence homology between CDR3 sequences of BA cases. The J4-02 allele was present in the dominant CDR3 sequences of most biliary remnants. (b) Overall evaluation of amino acid variability by Shannon entropy demonstrated few conserved amino acid positions (Shannon entropy value <1) in the 14 amino acid CDR3 sequences of both the iBA (top right) and BASM (bottom right) disease groups.
