Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire Profiling for Biomarker Discovery
Presenter: Paul Diehl, Ph.D.
Abstract: TCR and BCR repertoire profiling referred to as adaptive immune repertoire (AIR) hold great potential for understanding disease mechanisms and for the development of new therapeutics in infectious disease, autoimmunity, and immuno-oncology. This potential could be greatly improved by combining information about receptor clonotypes with immunophenotypes of T and B cells. To facilitate these studies, we developed a novel technology for combined profiling of all human TCR and BCR variable regions and phenotypic characterization of immune cells. The developed TCR/BCR immunophenotyping method involves multiplex RT-PCR amplification and sequencing of CDR3 regions of TCR and BCR genes and a set of the most informative T- and B-cell phenotyping genes. Bioinformatic analysis of NGS data allows profiling of TCR/BCR clonotypes, and identification of major immune cell subtypes and their activation status. Preliminary studies indicate the assay has unparalleled throughput, sensitivity, and improvedcosteffectiveness for high-throughput immunity biomarker discovery applications
