By designing two new technologies for sequencing multiple mRNA transcripts from up to 10 million isolated, single cells, the author directly addresses the limitations to provide information on the identity of immune receptor pairs encoded by individual B or T lymphocytes. Previous methods for high-throughput immune repertoire sequencing have been unable to provide such information. The techniques developed in this thesis have enabled comprehensive investigation of human B-cell repertoires and have been applied for the rapid discovery of new human antibodies, to gain new insights into the development of human antibody repertoires, and for analysis of human immune responses to vaccination and disease.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053AntibodiesGenetic engineeringHuman geneticsCell biologyBiochemistryAntibodieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B14010Genetic Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12037Human Geneticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12008Cell Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008Biochemistry, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14005Antibodies.Genetic engineering.Human genetics.Cell biology.Biochemistry.Antibodies.Genetic Engineering.Human Genetics.Cell Biology.Biochemistry, general.616.0798DeKosky Brandonauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut979631MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910253930203321Decoding the Antibody Repertoire2234127UNINA
