SMARTer Human BCR IgG IgM H/K/L Profiling Kit—capturing complete V(D)J variable regions of BCR transcripts
The new SMARTer Human BCR IgG IgM H/K/L Profiling Kit pairs 5' RACE with NGS technology to provide a sensitive, accurate, and optimized approach to BCR profiling from RNA input samples. The 5' RACE method reduces variability and allows for priming from the constant region of BCR heavy or light chains. This kit combines these benefits with gene-specific amplification to capture complete V(D)J variable regions of BCR transcripts and provide a highly sensitive and reproducible method for profiling B-cell repertoires.

The kit is designed to work with a range of RNA input amounts depending on the sample type, and has been shown to generate high-quality, Illumina-ready libraries from as little as 10 ng to 1 µg of total RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and 1 to 100 ng of total RNA from B cells. Data can be generated for both heavy and light chains (kappa and lambda) of human immunoglobulin IgG and IgM. This latest profiling kit also includes unique molecular identifiers (UMI), making it possible to remove reads derived from PCR errors or duplication and/or sequencing errors, thus ensuring more accurate and reliable results
Overview
- Input: 10 ng to 1 µg of total RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or 1 to 100 ng of total RNA from B cells
- UMI-based correction for removal of reads derived from PCR error or duplication and/or sequencing errors
- Sensitive and specific clonotype detection with optimized cDNA library generation
- Accurate amplification of human IgG subclasses and identification via sequencing in a majority of cases
- Optimized PCR pooling strategy for highly sensitive detection of different chains from the same sample
- Flexible pooling strategies accommodate different experimental requirements regarding alignment and identification of primary chain sequences
