Immunogenomics to accelerate immunotherapy—new solutions for T-cell and B-cell receptor profiling

Development of monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and immune cell-based therapies are instrumental in fighting infectious diseases and immune-related diseases like cancer. A better understanding of the diversity of T-cell and B-cell receptors (TCRs and BCRs) is key to gaining insights into the adaptive immune response in healthy individuals and those with a wide range of diseases.

Learn how profiling the immune repertoire of lymphocytes can help you make breakthroughs in immunotherapy research.

Webinar outline:

  • Brief overview of our solutions for TCR profiling*
  • New solution for human BCR profiling: SMARTer Human BCR IgG IgM H/K/L Profiling Kit and Takara Bio (now Cogent NGS) Immune Profiler Software
     
    • BCR profiling kit produces specific Illumina-ready sequencing libraries and includes unique molecular identifiers (UMI) for accurate clonotype analysis
    • Immune Profiler Software corrects PCR duplicates and errors and provides reliable clonotype calling and quantification

*Since this webinar was recorded, we've launched a new version of the human TCR kit, the SMARTer Human TCR a/b Profiling Kit v2. Going forward, we recommend that this kit be used for your TCR profiling needs!
