Decoding the antibody repertoire : high throughput sequencing of multiple transcripts from single b cells
This thesis outlines the development of the very first technology for high-throughput analysis of paired heavy and light-chain antibody sequences, opening the door for the discovery of new antibodies and the investigation of adaptive immune responses to vaccines and diseases. By designing two new te...
