Abstract excerpt
The regular emergence of influenza strains with pandemic potential necessitates vaccines that elicit protective immune responses across genetically diverse human populations. A critical but understudied factor is how germline-encoded variation in immunoglobulin genes shapes the development of neutralizing antibodies. Here, by combining personalized immunoglobulin genotyping with high-throughput paired-chain...
