Secondary Mechanisms of Affinity Maturation in the Human Antibody Repertoire

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2013
V(D)J recombination and somatic hypermutation (SHM) are the primary mechanisms for diversification of the human antibody repertoire. These mechanisms allow for rapid humoral immune responses to a wide range of pathogenic challenges.

Systems Analysis Reveals High Genetic and Antigen-Driven Predetermination of Antibody Repertoires throughout B Cell Development

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Antibody repertoire diversity and plasticity is crucial for broad protective immunity. Repertoires change in size and diversity across multiple B cell developmental stages and in response to antigen exposure.

Characterization of the naive murine antibody repertoire using unamplified high-throughput sequencing. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Antibody specificity and diversity are generated through the enzymatic splicing of genomic gene segments within each B cell. Antibodies are heterodimers of heavy- and light-chains encoded on separate loci.

BioPhi: A platform for antibody design, humanization, and humanness evaluation based on natural antibody repertoires and deep learning

open access: yesmAbs, 2022
Despite recent advances in transgenic animal models and display technologies, humanization of mouse sequences remains one of the main routes for therapeutic antibody development.

V(D)J Rearrangement Is Dispensable for Producing CDR-H3 Sequence Diversity in a Gene Converting Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
An important characteristic of chickens is that the antibody repertoire is based on a single framework, with diversity found mainly in the CDRs of the light and heavy chain variable regions.

Intratumoral T-cell and B-cell receptor architecture associates with distinct immune tumor microenvironment features and clinical outcomes of anti-PD-1/L1 immunotherapy

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2023
Background Effective cooperation between B-cells and T-cells within the tumor microenvironment may lead to the regression of established tumors. B-cells and T-cells can recognize tumor antigens with exquisite specificity via their receptor complexes ...

Diversity in the Cow Ultralong CDR H3 Antibody Repertoire

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Typical antibodies found in humans and mice usually have short CDR H3s and generally flat binding surfaces. However, cows possess a subset of antibodies with ultralong CDR H3s that can range up to 70 amino acids and form a unique “stalk and knob ...

Insights into next generation sequencing guided antibody selection strategies

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Therapeutic antibody discovery often relies on in-vitro display methods to identify lead candidates. Assessing selected output diversity traditionally involves random colony picking and Sanger sequencing, which has limitations. Next-generation sequencing
