High-throughput method to screen cognate T cell and epitope reactivities in primary human cells

Abstract:

Described is an autologous primary immune cell assay in which an individual's own blood cells may be functionally screened against individual antigens, e.g., T cell epitopes, of interest simultaneously without HLA haplotype-specific reagent. Antigen reactivities are linked to individual T cells using an oligonucleotide-tagging hashing tracking system, which is later deconvolved by single cell sequencing.
