  • Patent number: 11156611
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for single cell characterization using affinity-oligonucleotide conjugates. In some aspects, such methods may comprise attaching a first vessel barcoded polynucleotide to an oligonucleotide portion of an affinity-oligonucleotide conjugate, which binds to a target antigen expressed by a single cell that is isolated in a single vessel. In some aspects, the oligonucleotide portion of the affinity-oligonucleotide conjugate may comprise an antigen identification sequence (AID). In some aspects, the oligonucleotide portion of the affinity-oligonucleotide conjugate may further comprise an affinity molecular barcode (AMB) sequence. In some aspects, such methods may further comprise lysing the single cell and attaching a second vessel barcoded polynucleotide to a cell polynucleotide from the single cell.

  • Patent number: 10393743
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for single cell characterization using affinity-oligonucleotide conjugates, including tetramer-oligonucleotide conjugates (e.g., pMHC-oligonucleotide). In some aspects, such methods may comprise the steps of: forming a vessel comprising an affinity-oligonucleotide conjugate and a T cell; attaching a vessel barcoded polynucleotide or complement thereof to: (a) an oligonucleotide portion of a pMHC-oligonucleotide conjugate, and (b) a T cell receptor (TCR) polynucleotide originating from the T cell; and sequencing the oligonucleotide portion or a complement thereof and the TCR polynucleotide or a complement thereof. Additional methods provided herein include determining the binding affinity of a T cell receptor (TCR) to a pMHC-oligonucleotide.

  • Patent number: 9125931
    Abstract: In vitro SELEX has been used to discover high affinity RNA aptamers interacting with the tetracycline repressor protein in a tetracycline-dependent manner. Using in silico RNA folding predictions to guide the design of both aptamer truncations and mutants, minimized tetracycline repressor protein high affinity binding aptamers have been defined. Using one such aptamer, inducible post-transcriptional regulation in vivo has been demonstrated that is predicated on a direct interaction between a tetracycline repressor protein and a RNA aptamer element. These aptamer components can be integrated in any organism to inducibly regulate RNA translation of a gene of interest.
