    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, there is provided a method for identifying an epitope sequence.
    The present disclosure provides a method for identifying an epitope sequence associated with a specific physiological state of a test subject, the method including the steps of: A) obtaining BCR and/or TCR repertoire data associated with the specific physiological state of the test subject; B) specifying a TREM sequence (repertoire specific TREM sequence) from the BCR and/or TCR repertoire data; C) obtaining a reference TREM sequence associated with the test subject; D) specifying a repertoire-reference common specific TREM sequence from the reference TREM sequence and the repertoire specific TREM sequence; and E) determining, based on the repertoire-reference common specific TREM sequence, whether a peptide sequence including the repertoire-reference common specific TREM sequence is an epitope sequence associated with the specific physiological state of the test subject.

    Abstract: The present inventors used aminoacylated tRNAs prepared by ligating a pCpA-amino acid to a tRNA lacking the 3'-terminal CA sequence using a ligase, and thereby succeeded in discrimination between the NNA and NNG codons in specific codon boxes, which had been difficult to achieve due to the presence of wobble base pairing. Furthermore, the inventors assigned another amino acid to the NNU or NNC codon in the same codon box, and performed translation of a sequence containing the NNU, NNA, and NNG codons, or the NNC, NNA, and NNG codons to evaluate the codon discrimination ability. As a result, the codons of interest were specifically translated into only the corresponding amino acids, achieving accurate discrimination successfully. Furthermore, the inventors confirmed that similar effects can also be obtained even when the nucleotide sequence of the tRNA body is altered.
