Immune Repertoires in Various Dermatologic and Autoimmune Diseases
The immune repertoire (IR) is a term that defines the combined unique genetic rearrangements of antigen receptors expressed by B and T lymphocytes. The IR determines the ability of the immune system to identify and respond to foreign antigens while preserving tolerance to host antigens. When immune tolerance is disrupted, development of autoimmune diseases can occur due to the attack of self-antigens. Recent technical advances in immune profiling allowed identification of common patterns and shared antigen-binding sequences unique to diverse array of diseases. However, there is no current literature to date evaluates IR findings in autoimmune and skin inflammatory conditions. In this review, we provide an overview of the past and current research findings of IR in various autoimmune and dermatologic conditions. Enriching our understanding of IRs in these conditions is critical for understanding the pathophysiology behind autoimmune skin disease onset and progression. Furthermore, understanding B-cell and T-cell IR will help devise therapeutic treatments in the hopes of restoring immune tolerance and preventing disease onset and progression.
