Abstract:
Next-generation sequencing has the potential to uncover the complex nature of B cell immunity by revealing the full complexity of B cell receptor (BCR) repertoires in health and disease. However, there are drawbacks which can compromise the validity of the repertoire analysis caused by quantitative bias and accumulation of sequencing errors during the library preparation and sequencing. Here, we provide an optimized protocol designed to minimize bias for reproducible and accurate preparation of human BCR repertoire libraries for high-throughput sequencing.
