Development of Computational Approaches for Cell Hashing in scRNA-Seq

As a test of cell overloading after cell hashing, a sample of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from a single subject was separated into naive T cells, memory T cells, and non-T cell PBMC populations using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). Each population was separated into two technical replicates, then stained with BioLegend TotalSeq-A antibodies. All 6 samples were pooled, then loaded into 6 wells of a 10X Genomics Chromium 3' RNA-seq v3 chip at increasing cell counts: 16,000 (k), 24k, 32k, 48k, 64, and 80k cells per well. We also included a single sample that was not hashed or pooled, as well as a single sample that was stained with hashing antibodies, but not pooled in two separate wells.]]>
