Abstrakt: With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methodologies, the total repertoires of B and T cells can be disclosed in much more detail than ever before. Even though many of these strategies do provide in-depth and high-resolution information of the immunoglobulin (IG) and/or T-cell receptor (TR) repertoire, one clear disadvantage is that the IG/TR profiles cannot be connected to individual cells. Single-cell technologies do allow to study the IG/TR repertoire at the individual cell level. This is especially relevant in cell samples in which much heterogeneity of the cell population is expected. By combining the IG/TR repertoire with transcriptome data, the reactivity of the B or T cell can be associated with activation or maturation stages. An additional advantage of such single-cell technologies is that the combination of both IG and both TR chains can be studied on a per cell basis, which better reflects the antigen receptor reactivity of cells. Here we present the ICELL8 single-cell method for the parallel analysis of the TR repertoire and transcriptome, which is especially useful in samples that contain relatively few cells.
