Predicting the spectrum of TCR repertoire sharing with a data-driven model of recombination

Yuval Elhanati, Zachary Sethna, Curtis G. Callan +2

Despite the extreme diversity of T cell repertoires, many identical T-cell receptor (TCR) sequences are found in a large number of individual mice and humans. These widely-shared s…

Mouse T cell repertoires as statistical ensembles: overall characterization and age dependence

Zachary Sethna, Yuval Elhanati, Crissy S. Dudgeon +4

The ability of the adaptive immune system to respond to arbitrary pathogens stems from the broad diversity of immune cell surface receptors (TCRs). This diversity originates in a s…

Inferring processes underlying B-cell repertoire diversity

Yuval Elhanati, Zachary Sethna, Quentin Marcou +3

We quantify the VDJ recombination and somatic hypermutation processes in human B-cells using probabilistic inference methods on high-throughput DNA sequence repertoires of human B-…

Quantifying selection in immune receptor repertoires

Yuval Elhanati, Anand Murugan, Curtis G. Callan +2

The efficient recognition of pathogens by the adaptive immune system relies on the diversity of receptors displayed at the surface of immune cells. T-cell receptor diversity result…

Statistical inference of the generation probability of T-cell receptors from sequence repertoires

Anand Murugan, Thierry Mora, Aleksandra M. Walczak +1

Stochastic rearrangement of germline DNA by VDJ recombination is at the origin of immune system diversity. This process is implemented via a series of stochastic molecular events i…

Maximum entropy models for antibody diversity

Thierry Mora, Aleksandra Walczak, William Bialek +1

Recognition of pathogens relies on families of proteins showing great diversity. Here we construct maximum entropy models of the sequence repertoire, building on recent experiments…
