SMARTer Mouse BCR IgG H/K/L Profiling Kit—capturing complete V(D)J variable regions of BCR transcripts

SMARTer Mouse BCR IgG H/K/L Profiling Kit

The SMARTer Mouse BCR IgG H/K/L Profiling Kit pairs 5' RACE with NGS technology to provide a sensitive, accurate, and optimized approach to BCR profiling. 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.

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 3 µg of total RNA from spleen, lymph node, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and hybridomas.

Downstream sequencing of H/K/L chains allows for accurate identification of top clonotypes and reliable assignment of isotype in a majority of cases.

634422 SMARTer® Mouse BCR IgG H/K/L Profiling Kit 12 Rxns USD $900.00

The SMARTer Mouse BCR IgG H/K/L Profiling Kit enables users to analyze B-cell receptor (BCR) diversity from total RNA samples and whole cells. This kit is designed to work with a range of RNA inputs, from 10 ng to 3 µg of total RNA obtained from 1,000 to 10,000 purified B cells. This kit can be used to generate data for both heavy (IgG only) and light chain diversity. The kit is not intended to identify the subclasses of IgG heavy chain that are expressed (i.e., IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG2c, or IgG3).

This kit leverages SMART technology and employs a 5' RACE-like approach to capture complete V(D)J variable regions of BCR transcripts. Included in the kit are primers that incorporate Illumina-specific adaptor sequences during cDNA amplification. This kit supports up to 12 rxns.

BCR development.

BCR development.

BCR development. The progenitor cell undergoes recombination of V, D, and J segments in the germline, which generates two identical heavy chains. Recombination of V and J segments generates two identical light chains. Random nucleotide additions or deletions at the junctions of the V, D, and J segments provide additional diversity. Furthermore, B cells activated by immune responses undergo somatic hypermutation (SHM), in which additional point mutations are introduced.

SMARTer Mouse BCR IgG H/K/L Profiling Kit workflow.

SMARTer Mouse BCR IgG H/K/L Profiling Kit workflow. Panel A. First-strand cDNA synthesis is dT-primed (BCR dT Primer) and performed by the MMLV-derived SMARTScribe Reverse Transcriptase (RT), which adds nontemplated nucleotides upon reaching the 5' end of each mRNA template. The BCR Oligonucleotide anneals to these nontemplated nucleotides and serves as a template for the incorporation of an additional sequence of nucleotides into the first-strand cDNA by the RT (this is the template-switching step). The BCR Oligonucleotide contains sequence from the Illumina Read Primer 2, serving as a primer-annealing site for subsequent rounds of PCR, and ensuring that only sequences from full-length cDNAs undergo amplification. Panel B. The first PCR uses the first-strand cDNA as a template and includes a forward primer with complementarity to the Illumina Read Primer 2 sequence (BCR Primer 1V), and a reverse primer that is complementary to the constant (i.e., nonvariable) region of BCR heavy or light chains (mBCR Primers 1H, 1K, or 1L). The chains are amplified in separate reactions. By priming from the Read Primer 2 sequence and the constant region, the first PCR specifically amplifies the entire variable region and a considerable portion of the constant region of BCR heavy or light chain cDNA. The second PCR takes the product from the first PCR as a template and uses semi-nested primers (mBCR Primers 2H, 2K, or 2L) to amplify the entire variable region and a portion of the constant region of BCR heavy or light chain cDNA. As in PCR 1, the BCR subunit chains are amplified in separate reactions.

Highly specific amplification of Ig chains.

Highly specific amplification of Ig chains.

Highly specific amplification of Ig chains. Libraries containing BCR G and K chain transcripts were generated using the SMARTer Mouse BCR IgG H/K/L Profiling kit, starting with 10 ng of RNA isolated from a hybridoma developed in-house (10E8) and two manufactured ATCC hybridoma samples (HB-8117 and TIB-127). Panel A. Bioanalyzer traces showing gene-specific amplification of G, K and L chains for each hybridoma. Peaks labeled "LM" and "UM" correspond to DNA reference markers included in each analysis. Panel B. Mapping metrics were determined using MiXCR software (version 2.1.81.8; software not provided with kit) and aligned against all Ig reference sequences, with a clone fraction threshold of 0.01%. V, D, and J IMGT allele outputs, alignment scores and consensus CDR3 amino acid CDR3 for the top heavy (G) and light (K) chain clone for each hybridoma are displayed. For cases in which the MiXCR software determined the presence of more than one V, D, or J allele, all determined alleles with alignment scores are shown.

PCR cycling and pooling workflow.

PCR cycling and pooling workflow.

PCR cycling and pooling workflow. After RT step, the user amplifies the G, K, or L chain transcripts in separate reactions. Each amplification uses 5 µl of the RT reaction. Following the first PCR, 1 µl of each PCR is used in a separate PCR reaction (PCR 2) to add the same sequencing indexes to each amplified chain for a given sample, but distinct indexes for each different sample. After this final amplification in PCR2, the user may validate each product on a Bioanalyzer or other fragment analysis system. The user then has the flexibility to choose which amplified BCR chains to pool for sequencing.
