High throughput sequencing (HTS) approaches have only recently been applied to describing the antibody/B-cell repertoire in fine detail, but these data sets have already become critical to the design of vaccines and therapeutics, and monitoring of cancer immunotherapy. As a case study, we describe the potential and present limitations of HTS studies of the Ab repertoire during infection with HIV-1. Most of the present studies restrict their analyses to lineages of specific bnAbs. We discuss future initiatives to expand this type of analysis to more complete repertoires and to improve comparing and sharing of these Ab repertoire data across studies and institutions.
