The IDP is designed to work with RNA and multiplexing assays
A. WTA and AbSeq libraries from IDP-stained cells (1:1 mixture of resting and activated PBMCs) were generated and sequenced. To illustrate the power of multiomic analysis, we analyzed the WTA data only (mRNA analysis) and compared with WTA + AbSeq data (mRNA and protein analysis). UMAP coordinates and unbiased clustering (Phenograph) using only WTA (mRNA) data are shown on the left, while coordinates and annotations using WTA + AbSeq (mRNA and protein) data are shown on the right. With a multiomics approach, additional cell types were revealed offering deeper biological insights.
B. To test the compatibility of the BD® Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit (SMK) and the IDP, we performed cell staining with the SMK and the IDP together and generated WTA, AbSeq and SMK libraries for sequencing. The expression of markers in the IDP was then compared to data generated in the absence of the SMK. These data showed that addition of the SMK does not impact the IDP as demonstrated by high correlation (R2 >0.99) between the IDP + WTA versus IDP + WTA + SMK.
