Cutting Edge: Ig H Chains Are Sufficient to Determine Most B Cell Clonal Relationships

Abstract excerpt

B cell clonal expansion is vital for adaptive immunity. High-throughput BCR sequencing enables investigating this process but requires computational inference to identify clonal relationships. This inference usually relies on only the BCR H chain, as most current protocols do not preserve H:L chain pairing. The extent to which paired L chains aids inference is unknown. Using human single-cell paired BCR datasets,...
