High-throughput analysis of immune repertoires has contributed to the elucidation of mechanistic underpinnings of autoimmunity, driving the development of novel therapies and better diagnostics.
Autoimmune diseases affect 3% of the global population and this number has been increasing over the past decades. Autoimmune reactions are caused by specific immune responses which leave a molecular imprint on the B cell repertoire. These imprints contain valuable information which can be extracted though high-throughput analysis of immune repertoires. Repertoire sequencing has the potential to transform our understanding of autoimmune responses by generating important mechanistic insights, ultimately improving diagnostics and guiding the development of novel therapies.
