B cell clonal expansion is correlated with antigen-specificity in young but not old mice
(2021)bioRxivAging of the humoral immune response has been shown to affect its critical role in defending the host from a variety of pathogens. Technical limitations have nevertheless made it challenging to investigate the relationship between genotype and phenotype of antibody repertoires in the context of aging. We therefore performed single-cell sequencing of over 95,000 B cells to simultaneously investigate B cell receptor (BCR) repertoires and ...Working Paper -
Phenotypic determinism and stochasticity in antibody repertoires of clonally expanded plasma cells
(2021)bioRxivThe capacity of humoral B cell-mediated immunity to effectively respond to and protect against pathogenic infections is largely driven by the presence of a diverse repertoire of polyclonal antibodies in the serum, which are produced by plasma cells (PCs).1,2 Recent studies have started to reveal the balance between deterministic mechanisms and stochasticity of antibody repertoires on a genotypic level (i.e., clonal diversity, somatic ...Working Paper
