10x Genomics Chromium Single Cell V(D)J Solution

Mar 27, 2017

10x Genomics has launched a high-throughput solution for profiling paired V(D)J transcripts from hundreds to millions of lymphocytes. The solution includes the necessary chemistry and microfluidics consumables, as well as a complete software suite, and it runs on the firm's Chromium Controller or Chromium Single Cell Controller microfluidics platforms. It will be useful to researchers in vaccine development, clonal immune cell dynamics, immune responses to checkpoint blockades, and the development of recombinant antibodies and engineered T cells used in immunotherapies for cancer and other diseases, the firm said.
