Alternative splicing is a key mechanism for expanding transcriptomic and proteomic complexity, yet its role in innate immune activation remains incompletely understood. Here, we applied Oxford Nanopore native RNA-sequencing to generate an isoform-level transcriptome of primary human monocytes before and after activation with lipopolysaccharide. We identify over 24,000 expressed isoforms, including thousands of previously unannotated variants. Activation induced widespread isoform-specific expression changes, leading to extensive isoform switching events, validated using matched short-read RNA-Seq. These activation-induced shifts enhanced transcript immune-regulatory functions: activated monocytes preferentially express longer, coding-competent isoforms with complete open reading frames, fewer retained introns, and increased domain complexity. By integrating matched Ribo-seq and proteomic data, we demonstrate that these isoform modulations are associated with enhanced translation of immune effector proteins. Together, our findings position alternative splicing as a dynamic and functional regulator of monocyte activation, emphasizing the need for isoform-level resolution to fully understand immune cell function and inflammation.
