SMARTer Human TCR a/b Profiling Kit v2—flexible kit with ultimate sensitivity for understanding the TCR repertoire

NGS TCR Profiling

NOTE: We recommend the reconfigured versions of the kits below, SMART-Seq Human TCR (with UMIs) (Cat. # 634780, 634781 & 634779).


SMARTer Human TCR a/b Profiling Kit v2 (Cat. # 634478, 634479) will be phased out soon. Contact your local sales representative for more information.

The SMARTer Human TCR a/b Profiling Kit v2 (TCRv2) is powered by robust chemistry that provides unparalleled sensitivity and reproducibility. The kit leverages SMART (Switching Mechanism at 5' end of RNA Template) full-length cDNA synthesis technology and pairs NGS with a 5'-RACE approach to capture the complete V(D)J variable regions of TRA and TRB genes.

The kit leverages SMART (Switching Mechanism at 5' end of RNA Template) full-length cDNA synthesis technology and pairs NGS with a 5'-RACE approach to capture the complete V(D)J variable regions of TRA and TRB genes.

The kit is designed to work with a range of RNA input amounts (RIN ≥8; depending on the sample type) and has been shown to yield high-quality sequencing libraries from as little as 10 ng to 1 µg of total RNA obtained from peripheral blood leukocytes, 20 ng to 200 ng of total RNA obtained from whole blood, 1 ng to 100 ng of total RNA obtained from T cells, or from 1,000 to 10,000 purified, whole T cells. Libraries can be generated to obtain both alpha and beta chain diversity information. This latest profiling kit also includes unique molecular identifiers (UMI), making it possible to remove reads derived from PCR duplicates and sequencing errors, thus ensuring more accurate and reliable results. In addition to the reagents, the TCRv2 kit includes a dual index (UDI) plate to generate Illumina-compatible sequencing libraries.

Once output files are generated with an Illumina sequencer, they can be analyzed using the Cogent NGS Immune Profiler Software. This software enables high-quality TCR profiling analysis, including count and identification of clonotypes and sequence information for V(D)J regions.

Benefits of this kit include:

  • Use of UMIs to correct for PCR and sequencing errors
  • Addition of UDIs, allowing for greater confidence in sequencing on a patterned flow cell (such as the NovaSeq™ system) and the ability to pool a greater number of samples
  • Flexibility to sequence on any Illumina instrument
  • Full-length V(D)J analysis on the MiSeq™ system
  • Access to Cogent NGS Immune Profiler Software, an easy-to-use analysis pipeline tool for users of any bioinformatic experience level, for faster data analysis

634478 SMARTer® Human TCR a/b Profiling Kit v2 12 Rxns USD $1440.00

The SMARTer Human TCR a/b Profiling Kit v2 enables users to analyze T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires from bulk RNA samples. This kit can generate libraries from total RNA (10 ng to 1 µg from peripheral blood leukocytes, 20 ng to 200 ng of total RNA obtained from whole blood, or 1 ng to 100 ng T cells) or purified T cells (1,000 to 10,000 cells) and can be used to generate data for both TCR-alpha or TCR-beta subunits. Unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) are incorporated to facilitate PCR error correction and clonotype quantification during data analysis, and unique dual indexes (UDIs) allow users to multiplex more samples and to provide confidence when sequencing on patterned flow cells. At the end, generated indexed libraries are ready for sequencing on Illumina platforms.

This kit supports up to 12 rxns.

Variable and highly complex samples are accommodated without the need for RNA purification or T-cell enrichment. TRA and TRB libraries were generated from 1, 10, and 100 ng of human CD3+ T‑cell total RNA (Panel A), 1,000 and 10,000 CD3+ T cells (Panel B), and 20 ng of whole-blood RNA extracted from three different samples (Panel C). The sequence reads were processed by CogentIP.

Duplicate libraries were generated from 10 ng RNA extracted from single-donor PBMC samples (P1-P6) and sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq system using 300-bp paired-end reads to obtain approximately 1.5 million reads per sample. Resulting sequencing reads were processed with CogentIP. Clonotype numbers from different donors for TRA (blue) and TRB (orange) are shown.

TCRv2 reproducibly detects clonotypes from total RNA and cells

Figure 1. Sensitive and reproducible clonotype detection from a broad range of RNA amounts. TRA and TRB libraries were generated from 1, 10, and 100 ng of human CD3+ T-cell total RNA and 1,000 and 10,000 CD3+ T cells. The sequence reads were processed by the Cogent NGS Immune Profiler Software.

Table 1. Assessing the sensitivity and reproducibility of the SMARTer approach. Spike-in analysis was performed in replicate on PBMC RNA samples spiked at varying concentrations (10%, 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%, 0.001%, and 0.0001%) with RNA obtained from a homogeneous population of leukemic Jurkat T cells (containing TRBV12-3-TRBJ1-2 clonotypes). TRB CDR3 regions were amplified from 100 ng of total RNA using the TCRv2 kit and sequenced. Reads of 2 x 150 bp were obtained on an Illumina NextSeq® system. The sequencing reads were downsampled to 2.5 M reads. Read results for spike-in concentrations identified as the reliable concentration limit for each criterion (without and with UMI collapse) have data highlighted in gray. Without UMI collapse, PCR duplicates of TRBV12-3 were observed in 0.0010% of the raw reads.

TCRv2 chemistry detects more clonotypes than competitor methods

Figure 2. Superior sensitivity and reproducibility with TCRv2. We split 5M PBMC cells from two different healthy donors for RNA and gDNA extraction. 1.6 µg of gDNA was used for library preparation according to the manufacturer's instructions (15% of the total amount of extracted gDNA). 100 ng of RNA was used for library preparation (2% of the total amount of extracted RNA). Clonotype numbers for TCRa/b libraries are shown from each company (NT: not tested). In the comparison, TCRv2 generated an average of 48.7K and 163K clonotypes for TRA and TRB, respectively, representing a 290% increase against Company Q's RNA-based approach and a 145% increase against Company A's gDNA-based approach. Importantly, the RNA methods used only 2% of the total RNA from the 5M PBMCs.
