J Immunol. 2018 Dec 1;201(11):3465-3470. doi: 10.4049/jimmunol.1800774. Epub 2018 Oct 31.

Abstract

Allelic exclusion is a vital mechanism for the generation of monospecificity to foreign Ags in B and T lymphocytes. In this study, we developed a high-throughput barcoded method to simultaneously analyze the VDJ recombination status of both mouse TCR-β alleles in hundreds of single cells using next-generation sequencing.
