متن کاملUnraveling the Repertoire in Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome
Human immunology is entering the next frontier. With the fast developing technology, we can today sequence the whole genome from an individual in a relatively short time. It is now possible to decipher pathological mechanisms in immunological diseases, including primary immunodeficiencies, with high specificity. A particularly interesting aspect to study is the development and maintenance of th...
