title: Immune monitoring technology primer: immunosequencing.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Profiling of the immune receptor repertoire is becoming increasingly relevant to the understanding and clinical management of cancer, autoimmunity, aging, and infectious disease.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A platform technology is described that provides comprehensive immune receptor profiling.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Immunosequencing is a platform technology that allows the enumeration, specification and quantification of each and every B-and/or T-cell in any biologic sample of interest. It is based on bias-controlled multiplex PCR and high throughput sequencing and is highly accurate, standardized, and sensitive.
