METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR SINGLE CELL SECRETOMICS

Abstract:

Systems, methods, compositions, and kits for measuring secreted factors from cells are disclosed herein, including those capable of determining single cell secretion activity and protein expression and/or gene expression simultaneously. Disclosed herein include bispecific probes comprising an anchor probe capable of specifically binding to a surface cellular target of a cell, and a capture probe capable of specifically binding to a secreted factor secreted by a cell that is associated with the capture probe. Also disclosed herein include secreted factor-binding reagents capable of specifically binding to a secreted factor bound by a capture probe, where a secreted factor-binding reagent can comprise a secreted factor-binding reagent specific oligonucleotide comprising a unique factor identifier sequence for the secreted factor-binding reagent.
