Single-Cell Genomics: A Stepping Stone for Future Immunology Discoveries

Open access
Giladi, Amir, Amit, Ido·2018·Cell

Abstract

The immunology field has invested great efforts and ingenuity to characterize the various immune cell types and elucidate their functions. However, accumulating evidence indicates that current technologies and classification schemes are limited in their ability to account for the functional heterogeneity of immune processes. Single-cell genomics hold the potential to revolutionize the way we characterize complex immune cell assemblies and study their spatial organization, dynamics, clonal distribution, pathways, function, and crosstalks. In this Perspective, we consider recent and forthcoming technological and analytical advances in single-cell genomics and the potential impact of those advances on the future of immunology research and immunotherapy.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Standard antibody-based cell type purification across species remains challenging because epitope and antibody differences and impurities restrict accurate cross-species analysis.

    “Standard antibody-based cell type purification across species remains challenging because epitope and antibody differences and impurities of the cell population captured with these antibodies across different species significantly restrict accurate cross-species analysis”

    From Cross-Species Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Divergence of the Primate Microglia Program (2019) · cites this paper as Giladi and Amit, 2018

    The supplied passage and further searches for antibody-based purification, epitope differences, and cross-species analysis return only reference URLs, with no substantive text or section/page information. Our accessible copy therefore cannot establish whether the paper makes the claimed point. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
