It enables comprehensive analysis of individual antibody profiles. This technology shows great potential, particularly in exploring disease mechanisms and immune responses. Currently, PhIP-Seq has been successfully applied in various fields, such as the exploration of biomarkers for autoimmune diseases, vaccine development, and allergen detection. A variety of bioinformatics tools have facilitated the development of this process. However, PhIP-Seq technology still faces many challenges and has room for improvement. Here, we review the methods, applications, and challenges of PhIP-Seq and discuss its future directions in immunological research and clinical applications. With continuous progress and optimization, PhIP-Seq is expected to play an even more important role in future biomedical research, providing new ideas and methods for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
