    Single-Cell Profiling of Proteins and Chromatin Accessibility Using PHAGE-ATAC

    Researchers developed PHAGE-Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC), a massively parallel droplet-based method that used phage displaying, engineered, camelid single-domain antibodies for simultaneous single-cell measurements of protein levels and chromatin accessibility profiles, and mitochondrial DNA-based clonal tracing.

    Abstract

    Either IL-7 Activation of JAK-STAT or BEZ Inhibition of PI3K-AKT-mTOR Pathways Dominates the Single-Cell Phosphosignature of Ex Vivo Treated Pediatric T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells

    Researchers used single-cell mass cytometry to study signal transduction pathways such as the JAK-STAT, PI3K-AKT-mTOR and MEK-ERK pathways in 16 diagnostic and 5 relapsed T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia primary samples and investigated the in vitro response of cells to interleukin-7 and the inhibitor BEZ-235.
