The AIRR Community is community-driven organization that is organizing and coordinating stakeholders in the use of next-generation sequencing technologies to study immune repertoires. The Cell Ranger software for the analysis of single-cell sequencing data, including T and B cell receptor data.The Immcantation framework provides a start-to-finish analytical ecosystem for high-throughput AIRR-seq data analysis.The MiXCR is one of the most widely cited platforms for the analysis of high-throughput T cell and B cell receptor sequencing data.Many computational tools are being developed for this purpose, including: These large-scale adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing (AIRR-seq) data require specialized bioinformatics pipelines to be analyzed effectively. The ability to obtain data quickly from tens or hundreds of thousands of cells, one cell at a time, should provide a good idea, of the size of the person's immune repertoire. Thus it may be possible, to take a large sample of cells from someones immune system, and look quickly at the range of sub-types present in the sample. This can obtain thousands of DNA sequences, from different genes, quickly, at the same time, relatively cheaply. Next generation sequencing may have a large impact. TCR alpha and TCR beta in CD4 +/CD8 + T-cells are estimated at approximately 100,000 sub-types.TCR gamma genes, in CD8 +CD45RO + memory T cells in blood: estimates range from 40,000 to 100,000 sub-types in healthy young adults and from 3,600 to 97,000 in healthy old adults.The genetic spatio-temporal rule governing the TCR locus rearrangements imply that V(D)J rearrangements are not random, hence resulting in a smaller V(D)J diversity. Estimates depend on the precise type or 'compartment' of immune cells and the protein studied, but the expected billions of combinations may be an over-estimation. hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, where the immune repertoire has to be regenerated from scratch.ĭue to technical difficulties, measuring the immune repertoire was seldom attempted. Treatments affecting the immune system e.g.Genetic diseases ( primary immunodeficiency may impede the creation and development of immune repertoire proteins).Memory B cells and memory T cells ensure the persistence of the immune repertoire after a disease has passed. Exposure to diseases triggers further development of the immune repertoire, and thus fine-tunes the immune response. ![]() Developed cells eventually die, but may not be replaced by new subtypes.
