Precise determination of the diversity of a combinatorial antibody library gives insight into the human immunoglobulin repertoire

TL;DR: A general method for assessing human antibody sequence diversity displayed on phage using massively parallel pyrosequencing, a novel application of Kabat column-labeled profile Hidden Markov Models, and translated complementarity determining region (CDR) capture-recapture analysis is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

B cell exchange across the blood-brain barrier in multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied deep repertoire sequencing of IgG heavy chain variable region genes (IgG-VH) in paired cerebrospinal fluid and PB samples from patients with MS and other neurological diseases to identify related B cells that are common to both compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Naive antibody gene-segment frequencies are heritable and unaltered by chronic lymphocyte ablation

TL;DR: Using high-throughput sequence analysis of monozygotic twins, it is shown that variation in naive VH and DH segment use is strongly determined by an individual's germ-line genetic background and may provide a unique mechanism for stratifying individual risk profiles in specific diseases.

B Cell Exchange across the Blood-Brain Barrier in Multiple Sclerosis (S11.003)

TL;DR: Deep repertoire sequencing of IgG heavy chain variable region genes in paired cerebrospinal fluid and PB samples from patients with MS and other neurological diseases found that a restricted pool of clonally related B cells participated in robust bidirectional exchange across the BBB, suggesting that CNS-directed autoimmunity may be triggered and supported on both sides of theBBB.
