在這篇文章里,Roederer和他的團隊提出了一種在平臺使用多重TaqMan試劑對單個T細胞進行分析的方法。首先,使用BD FACSAria™,根據(jù)細胞的標記將其分離以得到單細胞。接下來,Roederer細化其方法學,確保獲得足量的RNA以進行單細胞的表達譜分析。Roederer等展示了低至一個mRNA轉錄本的檢測極限(limit of detection, LOD),結果表明的高靈敏度和寬的動態(tài)范圍,可以檢測單細胞當量的mRNA。
該團隊在單細胞水平監(jiān)測了T細胞的激活,發(fā)現(xiàn)了群體中CD4+細胞的亞群。實際上,CD4+細胞表達類似CSCR5/CCL5和DPPR/TIA1這樣的基因是稀有事件,并非之前使用大量mRNA觀察到的是普遍事件
通過比較CD154+和CD154- T細胞對葡萄球菌腸毒素B(SEB, Staphlyococcal enterotoxin B)的反應,(細胞)的異質性被進一步確立。當被刺激時,分析顯示有一組基因和T細胞的激活強烈相關,但是,只有5-20%的T細胞擁有可以結合SEB的受體Vβ鏈變體。
在這項研究中,細胞異質性被證明有很強的免疫相關性。Roederer和他的團隊正繼續(xù)推進系統(tǒng)的、單細胞的方法以更好地理解中樞免疫系統(tǒng)中細胞和分子的相互作用。
