Intracellular CITE-seq Assay Using BD^® AbSeq Antibody-Oligos

Expand the power of CITE-seq to intracellular proteomics with BD^®AbSeq Antibody-Oligos and associated reagents

Redefine CITE-seq

Profile intracellular proteins, surface proteins and RNA in one single-cell experiment

The Intracellular CITE-seq Assay using BD^® AbSeq Antibody-Oligos:

Enables simultaneous RNA, surface protein and intracellular protein detection
Supports high-plex proteomics profiling (~100 protein markers) at the single-cell level
Allows a safe stopping point during the workflow without compromising assay sensitivity
Works with the BD^® Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit to enable sample multiplexing
Drives deeper understanding of cellular functions such as signal transduction dynamics and transcriptional regulation

Applications

Intracellular BD^® AbSeq Antibody-Oligos can be used to characterize a heterogeneous subset of T follicular helper (T_FH) cells in human tonsil

A combination of intracellular CITE-seq, surface CITE-seq and scRNA-seq was used to deepen our understanding of the differentiation states and subsets of cells present at low abundance, such as T_FH cells.

We characterized the heterogeneous subsets of T_FH and circulating T_FH (cT_FH) cells using a combination of intracellular CITE-seq, surface CITE-seq and whole transcriptome single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis. Germinal center and cT_FH cells were enriched by sorting memory CD4⁺, CXCR5⁺, PD-1⁺ from a tonsil (n = 1) and memory CD4⁺ CXCR5⁺ cells from a matched blood sample and a healthy blood donor (n = 2). We examined the expression of Bcl-6 and other transcription factors, using protein and RNA expression data, across pre-T_FH (an early development stage in the germinal center), T_FH and cT_FH cells.

Tonsillar T_FH cells were enriched and stained with both surface and intracellular BD^®AbSeq Antibody-Oligos.
