Th e individual repertoire of T Cell Receptors (TCRs) is a mirror of functioning of an immune system that keeps detailed information concerning infectious and autoimmune conditions. We have developed approach that enables unbiased quantitative analysis of the human TCR V beta repertoire by massive sequencing. Using this approach, we have performed the fi rst detailed tracking of the fate of human T cell clones aft er high dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We show that multiple T cell clones do survive the transplantation procedure, some of them being essentially suppressed, but some of them expanding and fi ghting infections early aft er HSCT. We believe that wide application of the proposed approach will lead to optimization of HSCT protocols, progress in understanding infection and autoimmunity, and development of individual sequence-based diagnostics of immune status
