  • Characterization of adaptive immune response to vaccination or infection using immune repertoire sequencing
    Patent number: 11066705
    Abstract: Methods of monitoring and measuring dynamic adaptive immune cell responses are provided. High-throughput sequencing of T cell receptor and immunoglobulin loci is used to characterize the breadth of an effector cell response to a stimulus, such as a vaccine or infection. Unique responding effector cell clones and abundance thereof can be determined. Additionally, methods for determining the contribution of responding effector cells to the immunological memory compartment are provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2021
    Assignees: Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
    Inventors: Harlan S. Robins, William Sumner DeWitt, III, Ryan O. Emerson
