immunoglobulin-mRNA seq repertoire of different human B cell subsets sampled at different time points after pneumovax vaccination to identify the B cell subset responsible for the production of anti-polysaccharides antibodies. immunoglobulin-mRNA seq repertoire of different human B cell subsets sampled at different time points after pneumovax vaccination to identify the B cell subset responsible for the production of anti-polysaccharides antibodies

To identify the B cell subset(s) involved in T-independent (TI) responses in humans, we vaccinated healthy individuals with Pneumovax, a model TI vaccine composed of 23 capsular polysaccharides (capPS). High-throughput repertoire sequencing of day 7-plasma cells (PC-d7) and of different B cell subpopulations before and after vaccination was done to search for clonal filiations between anti-capPS PC-d7 clones and the isolated B cell subsets. Ig-Rep seq was done for PC-d7 of 6 vaccinee, and for different subsets sampled at day 0, 7, 14, 28 and 56 from 3 vacinees.
