Brief description The immune system is capable of making a repertoire of protective antibodies including literally tens of millions of different specificities. These are produced by permutations and combinations of a small set of ‘germline’ genes. This project will analyse how individual variations in the germline genes lead to individual differences in the repertoires of available antibodies, and will investigate whether or not such differences contribute to our susceptibility to infection and autoimmune diseases.
