SciReptor: analysis of single-cell level immunoglobulin repertoires.

ABSTRACT: The sequencing of immunoglobulin (Ig) transcripts from single B cells yields essential information about Ig heavy:light chain pairing, which is lost in conventional bulk sequencing experiments. The previously limited throughput of single-cell approaches has recently been overcome by the introduction of multiple next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based platforms. Furthermore, single-cell techniques allow the assignment of additional data types (e.g. cell surface marker expression), which are crucial for biological interpretation. However, the currently available computational tools are not designed to handle single-cell data and do not provide integral solutions for linking of sequence data to other biological data.Here we introduce sciReptor, a flexible toolkit for the processing and analysis of antigen receptor repertoire sequencing data at single-cell level. The software combines bioinformatics tools for immunoglobulin sequence annotation with a relational database, where raw data and analysis results are stored and linked. sciReptor supports attribution of additional data categories such as cell surface marker expression or immunological metadata. Furthermore, it comprises a quality control module as well as basic repertoire visualization tools.sciReptor is a flexible framework for standardized sequence analysis of antigen receptor repertoires on single-cell level. The relational database allows easy data sharing and downstream analyses as well as immediate comparisons between different data sets.

Protective anti-prion antibodies in human immunoglobulin repertoires.

Project description:Prion immunotherapy may hold great potential, but antibodies against certain PrP epitopes can be neurotoxic. Here, we identified > 6,000 PrP-binding antibodies in a synthetic human Fab phage display library, 49 of which we characterized in detail. Antibodies directed against the flexible tail of PrP conferred neuroprotection against infectious prions. We then mined published repertoires of circulating B cells from healthy humans and found antibodies similar to the protective phage-derived antibodies. When expressed recombinantly, these antibodies exhibited anti-PrP reactivity. Furthermore, we surveyed 48,718 samples from 37,894 hospital patients for the presence of anti-PrP IgGs and found 21 high-titer individuals. The clinical files of these individuals did not reveal any enrichment of specific pathologies, suggesting that anti-PrP autoimmunity is innocuous. The existence of anti-prion antibodies in unbiased human immunological repertoires suggests that they might clear nascent prions early in life. Combined with the reported lack of such antibodies in carriers of disease-associated PRNP mutations, this suggests a link to the low incidence of spontaneous prion diseases in human populations.

SCIGA: Software for large-scale, single-cell immunoglobulin repertoire analysis.

Project description:B-cell immunoglobulin repertoires with paired heavy and light chain can be determined by means of 10X single-cell V(D)J sequencing. Precise and quick analysis of 10X single-cell immunoglobulin repertoires remains a challenge owing to the high diversity of immunoglobulin repertoires and a lack of specialized software that can analyze such diverse data. In this study, specialized software for 10X single-cell immunoglobulin repertoire analysis was developed. SCIGA (Single-Cell Immunoglobulin Repertoire Analysis) is an easy-to-use pipeline that performs read trimming, immunoglobulin sequence assembly and annotation, heavy and light chain pairing, statistical analysis, visualization, and multiple sample integration analysis, which is all achieved by using a 1-line command. Then SCIGA was used to profile the single-cell immunoglobulin repertoires of 9 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Four neutralizing antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were identified from these repertoires. SCIGA provides a complete and quick analysis for 10X single-cell V(D)J sequencing datasets. It can help researchers to interpret B-cell immunoglobulin repertoires with paired heavy and light chain.

Profiling immunoglobulin repertoires across multiple human tissues using RNA sequencing.

Project description:Profiling immunoglobulin (Ig) receptor repertoires with specialized assays can be cost-ineffective and time-consuming. Here we report ImReP, a computational method for rapid and accurate profiling of the Ig repertoire, including the complementary-determining region 3 (CDR3), using regular RNA sequencing data such as those from 8,555 samples across 53 tissues types from 544 individuals in the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx v6) project. Using ImReP and GTEx v6 data, we generate a collection of 3.6 million Ig sequences, termed the atlas of immunoglobulin repertoires (TAIR), across a broad range of tissue types that often do not have reported Ig repertoires information. Moreover, the flow of Ig clonotypes and inter-tissue repertoire similarities across immune-related tissues are also evaluated. In summary, TAIR is one of the largest collections of CDR3 sequences and tissue types, and should serve as an important resource for studying immunological diseases.

High-throughput sequencing of murine immunoglobulin heavy chain repertoires using single side unique molecular identifiers on an Ion Torrent PGM.

Project description:With the advent of high-throughput sequencing (HTS), profiling immunoglobulin (IG) repertoires has become an essential part of immunological research. Advances in sequencing technology enable the IonTorrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) to cover the full-length of IG mRNA transcripts. Nucleotide insertions and deletions (indels) are the dominant errors of the PGM sequencing platform and can critically influence IG repertoire assessments. Here, we present a PGM-tailored IG repertoire sequencing approach combining error correction through unique molecular identifier (UID) barcoding and indel detection through ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT), the most commonly used sequence alignment database for IG sequences. Using artificially falsified sequences for benchmarking, we found that IMGT's underlying algorithms efficiently detect 98% of the introduced indels. Undetected indels are either located at the end of the sequences or produce masked frameshifts with an insertion and deletion in close proximity. The complementary determining regions 3 (CDR3s) are returned correct for up to 3 insertions or 3 deletions through conservative culling. We further show, that our PGM-tailored unique molecular identifiers result in highly accurate HTS data if combined with the presented processing strategy. In this regard, considering sequences with at least two copies from datasets with UID families of minimum 3 reads result in correct sequences with over 99% confidence. Finally, we show that the protocol can readily be used to generate homogenous datasets for bulk sequencing of murine bone marrow samples. Taken together, this approach will help to establish benchtop-scale sequencing of IG heavy chain transcripts in the field of IG repertoire research.

Mapping the functional landscape of T cell receptor repertoires by single-T cell transcriptomics.

Project description:Many experimental and bioinformatics approaches have been developed to characterize the human T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire. However, the unknown functional relevance of TCR profiling hinders unbiased interpretation of the biology of T cells. To address this inadequacy, we developed tessa, a tool to integrate TCRs with gene expression of T cells to estimate the effect that TCRs confer on the phenotypes of T cells. Tessa leveraged techniques combining single-cell RNA-sequencing with TCR sequencing. We validated tessa and showed its superiority over existing approaches that investigate only the TCR sequences. With tessa, we demonstrated that TCR similarity constrains the phenotypes of T cells to be similar and dictates a gradient in antigen targeting efficiency of T cell clonotypes with convergent TCRs. We showed this constraint could predict a functional dichotomization of T cells postimmunotherapy treatment and is weakened in tumor contexts.

VDJtools: Unifying Post-analysis of T Cell Receptor Repertoires.

Project description:Despite the growing number of immune repertoire sequencing studies, the field still lacks software for analysis and comprehension of this high-dimensional data. Here we report VDJtools, a complementary software suite that solves a wide range of T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires post-analysis tasks, provides a detailed tabular output and publication-ready graphics, and is built on top of a flexible API. Using TCR datasets for a large cohort of unrelated healthy donors, twins, and multiple sclerosis patients we demonstrate that VDJtools greatly facilitates the analysis and leads to sound biological conclusions. VDJtools software and documentation are available at https://github.com/mikessh/vdjtools.
