In response to antigen challenge, human B cells clonally expand, undergo selection and differentiate within secondary lymphoid tissues to produce mature B cell subsets and high affinity antibodies necessary for an effective immune response. However, the interplay between affinity, antibody class and different B cell fates has proved challenging to decipher in primary human tissue. We have applied an integrated analysis of bulk and single-cell antibody repertoires paired with single-cell transcriptomics of human B cells from a model secondary lymphoid tissue. Specifically, here we have used single-cell sequencing of antibody repertoires using the 10X Genomics platform to profile unsorted immune cells and sorted memory B cells from paediatric tonsil tissue. Matched gene expression and bulk B cell repertoires are also available for the same patient donors.
