Background: Clinical samples are irreplaceable, and their transformation into searchable and reusable digital biobanks is critical for conducting statistically empowered retrospective and integrative research studies. Currently, mainly data-independent acquisition strategies are employed to digitize clinical sample cohorts comprehensively. However, the sensitivity of DIA is limited, which is why selected marker candidates are often additionally measured targeted by parallel reaction monitoring.

Plasma cells and their secreted antibodies play a central role in the long-term protection against chronic viral infection. However, due to experimental limitations, a comprehensive description of linked genotypic, phenotypic, and antibody repertoire features of plasma cells (gene expression, clonal frequency, virus specificity, and affinity) has been challenging to obtain. To address this, we performed single-cell transcriptome and antibody repertoire sequencing of the murine BM plasma cell population following chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection.

High-throughput single-cell sequencing (scSeq) technologies are revolutionizing the ability to molecularly profile B and T lymphocytes by offering the opportunity to simultaneously obtain information on adaptive immune receptor repertoires (VDJ repertoires) and transcriptomes. An integrated quantification of immune repertoire parameters, such as germline gene usage, clonal expansion, somatic hypermutation and transcriptional states opens up new possibilities for the high-resolution analysis of lymphocytes and the inference of antigen-specificity. While multiple tools now exist to investigate gene expression profiles from scSeq of transcriptomes, there is a lack of software dedicated to single-cell immune repertoires.
