Workflow

The base workflow for Single Cell Immune Profiling is shown below. If you’re using our Feature Barcoding Kit for Cell Surface Protein, Antigen Specificity, or the 5' CRISPR Kit, we provide additional protocols for preparing your samples. For the automation option, separate reagents and protocols are available for Chromium Connect.

  1. 1Step 1

    Prepare your sample

    Start with hundreds to hundreds of thousands of cells. Cells can be labeled with antibodies and/or peptide–MHCs conjugated with a unique oligonucleotide barcode. You can use cell suspensions from FACS/MACS, fine needle aspirates, TILs, PBMCs, and more.

    Resources
  2. 2Step 2

    Construct your 10x library

    Construct a 10x barcoded library 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.

    Resources
  3. 3Step 3

    Sequence

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

    Resources
  4. 4Step 4

    Analyze your data

    Convert raw sequencing data into biologically meaningful insights with Cell Ranger. Cell Ranger processes data from paired immune receptor repertoire sequences, gene expression, and antigen specificity.

    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.

    Resources
  5. 5Step 5

    Visualize your data

    Use our Loupe Browser visualization software to interactively explore your results and compare detailed clonotype information within and across samples and cell types to study gene usage, repertoire diversity, clonal expansion, and more.

    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

The solution is capable of the modular integration of multiple data types, including mRNA-based whole transcriptome or targeted gene expression, immunophenotyping, adaptive immune repertoire clonality and diversity, antigen specificity, and CRISPR edits, simultaneously from the same single cells. This multiomic approach to cell characterization helps decipher the rules of the immune system one cell at a time.

Yes. You can amplify only the immunoglobulin or TCR libraries for sequencing and save the amplified whole transcriptome cDNA material for later sequencing.

Chromium Single Cell Immune Profiling is compatible with fresh or cryopreserved single cell suspensions. Typical samples include PBMCs, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, spleen, bone marrow cells, and other tissue types. Species can range from human, mouse, rat, and other model organisms. However, only human and mouse are currently supported by 10x Genomics reagents and protocols for immunoglobulin or TCR sequencing.

The Chromium Single Cell Immune Profiling Solution makes use of gene-specific amplification primers that target the constant regions of Ig and TCR genes in order to enrich and sequence across the entire Variable, Diversity, and Joining gene segments.

Yes, immunoglobulin heavy chain sequences are classified by IgA, IgD, IgE, IgM, and IgG.
