Provided herein are methods and compositions for single cell characterization using affinity-oligonucleotide conjugates, including tetramer-oligonucleotide conjugates (e.g., pMHC-oligonucleotide). In some aspects, such methods may comprise the steps of: forming a vessel comprising an affinity-oligonucleotide conjugate and a T cell; attaching a vessel barcoded polynucleotide or complement thereof to: (a) an oligonucleotide portion of a pMHC-oligonucleotide conjugate, and (b) a T cell receptor (TCR) polynucleotide originating from the T cell; and sequencing the oligonucleotide portion or a complement thereof and the TCR polynucleotide or a complement thereof. Additional methods provided herein include determining the binding affinity of a T cell receptor (TCR) to a pMHC-oligonucleotide. Compositions of the present invention encompass a plurality of vessels, wherein a vessel of the plurality of vessels may comprise a single T cell; and a vessel barcoded polynucleotide, wherein the vessel may further comprise a pMHC-oligonucleotide conjugate.
本文提供了使用亲和性-寡核苷酸共轭物,包括四聚体-寡核苷酸共轭物(如 p
MHC-寡核苷酸)进行单细胞表征的方法和组合物。在某些方面,这种方法可包括以下步骤:形成包含亲和素-寡核苷酸共轭物和 T 细胞的血管;将血管条形码多核苷酸或其补体附着到:(a)p
MHC-寡核苷酸共轭物的寡核苷酸部分,和(b)来自T细胞的T细胞受体(TCR)多核苷酸;和对寡核苷酸部分或其补体和TCR多核苷酸或其补体进行测序。本文提供的其他方法包括确定 T 细胞受体(TCR)与 p
MHC-寡核苷酸的结合亲和力。本发明的组合物包括多个血管,其中多个血管中的一个血管可包括单个T细胞;以及血管条形码多核苷酸,其中血管可进一步包括p
MHC-寡核苷酸共轭物。
