The Physiological Landscape and Specificity of Antibody Repertoires
(2021)bioRxivDiverse antibody repertoires spanning multiple lymphoid organs (e.g., bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes) form the foundation of protective humoral immunity. Changes in their composition across lymphoid organs are a consequence of B-cell selection and migration events leading to a highly dynamic and unique physiological landscape of antibody repertoires upon antigenic challenge (e.g., vaccination). However, to what extent B cells encoding ...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
