B and T cells perform a vital function in the adaptive immune system. They recognize molecules the body has determined are foreign, called antigens, and subsequently trigger events that will clear those molecules and the pathogens they are derived from, such as viruses or bacteria. However, isolating antigen-specific B and T cells out of a complex sample with traditional techniques has proved challenging and time consuming for those in drug development. To solve this problem, 10x Genomics has developed a workflow to assemble antigens or peptides of interest with unique barcodes and fluorescent reporters, which can then be used for cell sorting.
This webinar will discuss the use of Barcode Enabled Antigen Mapping (BEAM), a multiplexed antigen screening workflow for empowering the rapid discovery of antigen-specific B-cell (BEAM-Ab) and T-cell (BEAM-T) clonotypes. The technology is built on the proven Chromium® Single Cell Immune Profiling solution. The unique workflow allows researchers to obtain comprehensive antigen-specific cellular profiles, including full-length paired V(D)J sequences, gene expression, and cell surface proteins, from the same single cell to accelerate therapeutic discovery.
