Abstract
This disclosure provides methods for monitoring an immune response. Methods comprise linking a polynucleotide sequence encoding a heavy chain variable region and a polynucleotide sequence encoding a light chain variable region from a single lymphocyte from a biological sample obtained before an immune response and linking a polynucleotide sequence encoding a heavy chain variable region and a polynucleotide sequence encoding a light chain variable region from a single lymphocyte from a biological sample obtained during or after an immune response. Methods further comprise performing high-throughput sequencing of the linked (paired) sequences from before the immune response and from during or after the immune response, and comparing the resulting sequence reads.
