Immune Profiling

Identify all clonotypes in a diverse repertoire of T-Cell receptors and B-Cell receptors

TCR and BCR profiling enables comprehensive mapping of the immune repertoire. It has a number of applications including understanding disease mechanisms, characterizing immunological responses, biomarker identification and development of immunotherapies. This is exemplified by the success of several immunotherapies in cancer treatment and the development of therapeutic antibodies.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies enable accurate and unbiased profiling of TCRs and BCRs with relative ease. In combination with other assays, it can serve as diagnostic or prognostic marker. We provide RNA based TCR and BCR repertoire profiling services for both bulk RNA and single cell analysis.
