CD4+ T cells are critical to fighting pathogens, but a comprehensive analysis of human T- cell specificities is hindered by the diversity of HLA alleles (> 20,000) and the complexity of …
T cell receptor (TCR) sequences are very diverse, with many more possible sequence combinations than T cells in any one individual,,,. Here we define the minimal requirements …
Abs are immune system proteins that recognize noxious molecules for elimination. Their sequence diversity and binding versatility have made Abs the primary class of …
The adaptive immune system recognizes antigens via an immense array of antigen-binding antibodies and T-cell receptors, the immune repertoire. The interrogation of immune …

Next‐generation sequencing allows the characterization of the adaptive immune receptor repertoire (AIRR) in exquisite detail. These large‐scale AIRR‐seq data sets have rapidly …
Antibody repertoire diversity and plasticity is crucial for broad protective immunity. Repertoires change in size and diversity across multiple B cell developmental stages and in …
A role for B cells in autoimmune diseases is now clearly established both in mouse models and humans by successful treatment of multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis with anti …
