The heavy and light chains of antibodies are shown, and they are connected by disulfide bonds (bold blue line) TCR that is across the cell membrane is a heterodimer comprised of αβ chains or γδ chains. The structure of antigen-specific lymphocyte receptors and the generation of diversity. Traditional methods of analyzing the immune system such as flow cytometry and immunoscope spectratyping are limited and are both labor-intensive and expensive. The mechanism for the diversity of the antigen-specific receptors repertoire is shown in the picture description (Figure 1). Both the recombination diversity and junctional diversity result in a largely diverse immune repertoire. B cell receptors may undergo hypermutation, thereby producing high-affinity antibodies. In addition to recombination diversity, the addition and deletion of nucleotides that occur at the junction of gene fragments contribute to junctional diversity. The CDR3 region is the most variable portion of the antigen-binding site. TCRs and BCRs have three complementarity determining regions, including CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3. The combination of these gene segments determines the specificity and diversity of lymphocytes. Each unique antigen-specific receptor is comprised of variable (V) gene, diversity (D) gene, joining (J) gene, and constant (C) gene. The total of unique TCRs and BCRs make up the immune repertoire in one individual at any given moment, which reflects the ability of the immune system to respond to toxins or foreign substances. These receptors contribute to determining antigen specificity. There are also dual alpha and dual gamma T cells. B cell receptors are coded by heavy and kappa chains or heavy and lambda chains. T cells include αβ T cells that are coded by alpha and beta chains or γδ T cells that are coded by gamma and delta chains. There are a total of seven chains forming receptors. Immune receptors are an important structural domain where antigens bind.
This protection depends mainly on an immune response which primarily is induced by a vast number of lymphocyte cell receptors, T-cell receptors (TCRs) and B-cell receptors (BCRs). The immune system protects the human body from the harm of pathogens. Keywords: adaptive immune repertoire sequencing, T or B cell receptors, high-throughput sequencing, bioinformatics Introduction In this review, we summarized the current methods and progress in this area. The combination of high-throughput sequencing and single-cell technology allows us to obtain single-cell information with low-cost and high-throughput.
The information that is ignored may be crucial for understanding the heterogeneity of each cell, gene expression and drug response. At the population cell level, we can acquire the overview of cell groups, but the information about a single cell is not obtained accurately. That said, the clinical application of adaptive immune repertoire sequencing requires appropriate experimental methods and standard analytical tools. Continuous improvements of the immunological repertoire sequencing methods and analysis tools will help to minimize the experimental and calculation errors and realize the immunological information to meet the clinical requirements. The analysis and annotation for immune repertoire data can reveal biologically meaningful information, including immune prediction, target antigens, and effective evaluation. The emergence of high-throughput sequencing technology and bioinformatics provides opportunities for research in the fields of life sciences and medicine. The adaptive immune response is a powerful tool, capable of recognizing, binding to, and neutralizing a vast number of internal and external threats via T or B lymphatic receptors with widespread sets of antigen specificities.
