Title:

Adaptome: NGS of T and B cell receptor for biomarker development

Abstract:

In 2009, we first reported and patented   methods to profile immune repertoire. Now, with quantitative and sensitive   dam-PCR technology, we can sequence all 7 chains of T and B cell receptors in   one reaction to obtain the “Adaptome” information. The presentation will   discuss applications in immune oncology, monoclonal antibody development via   single cell sequencing, cell therapy, vaccine evaluation, MRD, and disease   specific diagnostics, including COVID-19.
