    Workflow

    1. 1Step 1

      Prepare your sample

      Label your cells with desired antigens or pMHC multimers conjugated with a unique oligonucleotide barcode. Depending on the expected percentage of antigen-specific cells, cell populations can be enriched through flow-based or magnetic sorting. Compatible cell suspensions include samples from dissociated tumor cells, fine needle aspirates, TILs, PBMCs, and more.

    2. 2Step 2

      Construct your 10x library

      Construct 10x barcoded libraries using our reagent kits and a compatible Chromium instrument. Each member of the Chromium instrument family encapsulates each cell with a 10x barcoded Gel Bead in a single partition. Within each nanoliter-scale partition, cells undergo reverse transcription to generate cDNA, which shares a 10x Barcode with all cDNA from its individual cell of origin.

    3. 3Step 3

      Sequence

      The resulting 10x barcoded libraries are compatible with standard NGS short-read sequencing on Illumina sequencers for immune and transcriptional profiling of thousands of individual cells.

    4. 4Step 4

      Analyze your data

      Convert raw sequencing data to biologically meaningful insights with Cell Ranger. Cell Ranger processes data from gene expression, paired immune receptor repertoire sequences, cell surface proteins, and antigen specificities.

      Analysis pipelines output

      Output includes QC information and files that can be easily used for further analysis in our Loupe Browser visualization software, or third-party R or Python tools.

    5. 5Step 5

      Visualize your data

      Use our Loupe Browser and Loupe V(D)J Browser software to define and compare cell types based on different marker types.

      Do I need to be a bioinformatician to use it?

      Loupe is a point-and-click software that’s easy for anyone to download and use.

    Frequently asked questions

    10x Genomics offers a fully supported workflow for determining antigen-specificity in T cells through use of Immudex’s dCODE Dextramer® reagents. This workflow can identify paired receptors that bind your epitope of interest at the single cell level. A technique recently reported by Vanderbilt can be used to determine B-cell antigen specificity (Ian Setliff et al., High-Throughput Mapping of B Cell Receptor Sequences to Antigen Specificity. Cell, doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2019.11.003).

    Antigen specificity data can be used for a wide range of assay types, including high-throughput antibody discovery, vaccine design, neo-antigen identification, high-resolution immune profiling studies, and more.

    Most multimer assays are fluorescence-based, meaning that the multimer molecules are tagged with a fluorescent marker that can then be used for sorting antigen-specific cells. These kinds of studies can provide information about the number of antigen-specific cells in a cell population. With Single Cell Immune Profiling, you can get this information, as well the paired, full-length sequences of the antigen-specific receptors and gene expression data at the single cell level. Together, this data provides a complete profile of the immune response.

    Because antigen-specific populations are rare, we recommend sorting for antigen-positive cells prior to 10x Genomics library preparation, but, ultimately, it depends on the goals of the experiment.

    See our Demonstrated Protocol on how to label cells for antigen-specificity staining. Additional resources can be found at the Immudex website.
