Abstract

We present tetramer-associated T-cell receptor sequencing (TetTCR-seq) to link T cell receptor (TCR) sequences to their cognate antigens in single cells at high throughput. Binding is determined using a library of DNA-barcoded antigen tetramers that is rapidly generated by in vitro transcription and translation. We applied TetTCR-seq to identify patterns in TCR cross-reactivity with cancer neoantigens and to rapidly isolate neoantigen-specific TCRs with no cross-reactivity to the wild-type antigen.

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • The capture sequences do not distinguish guides and could allow simultaneous capture of other features, including antibodies and oligo-tagged markers.

    “However, these capture sequences are not guide-specific, and thus, in principle, will enable multiplexed capture of additional features, such as antibodies22,23 and other oligo-tagged markers24.”
  • AIR specificity can be experimentally determined using barcoded antigens.

    “Although AIR specificity can be experimentally determined using barcoded antigens177,178, several approaches attempt to infer it computationally (Fig. 5e).”

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.
