Georgiou, Marcotte, & Ellington Labs Push Forward on Immunology Techniques

The Georgiou, Marcotte, and Ellington labs have recently been featured in both PNAS and Nature Biotechnology.

In January, they published a new technique for retaining the heavy- and light-chain antibody endogenous pairs that are usually lost in high-throughput analyses after the bulk B-cell lysis stage.  The full article can be seen here.

Then again in February, they published a new technique for determining the composition of the polyclonal serum response post-immunization.  This should prove highly useful in measuring anti-body responses to vaccination as well as contribute to a deeper understanding of the entire (and complex) immune response.  The full article can be seen here.
