Abstract
The invention is directed to methods for highly-multiplexed simultaneous detection of nucleic acids encoding paired adaptive immune heterodimers from a large number of biological samples containing lymphocytes of interest. Methods of the invention comprise performing a single pairing assay on a pool of source samples to determine nucleic acids encoding paired cognate receptor heterodimer chains in the combined pool. Separately, single-locus, high-throughput sequencing is performed on each individual sample to determine the plurality of sequences encoding one of the two receptor polypeptide chains. Pairs of cognate sequences determined in the pooled sample may then be mapped back to a single source sample by comparing the expression patterns of the single-locus sequences.
