T cell receptor assessment in autoimmune disease requires access to the most adjacent immunologically active organ.

Abstract excerpt

Next generation sequencing of T and B cell receptors is emerging as a valuable and effective method to diagnose and monitor hematopoietic malignancies. So far, this approach has not been fully explored in regard to autoimmune diseases.
