Intracellular microorganisms like viruses and bacteria impact immune cell function. However, detection of these microbes is challenging as the majority exist in a non-culturable state. This protocol presents detailed steps to investigate intracellular microbial diversity using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in immune-cells of SARS-CoV-2-positive and recovered patients. We present a workflow from sample collection to library preparation, covering peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) isolation, single-cell labeling, cartridge priming, and cell lysis. We outline the steps for analyzing the scRNA-seq data, from data quality control (QC) to detection of intracellular microbes. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Yadav et al..
像病毒和细菌这样的细胞内微生物会影响免疫细胞功能。然而,检测这些微生物具有挑战性,因为大多数微生物处于不可培养状态。本方案介绍了在新冠病毒阳性和康复患者的免疫细胞中使用单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)研究细胞内微生物多样性的详细步骤。我们展示了从样本采集到文库制备的工作流程,包括外周血单核细胞(PBMC)分离、单细胞标记、芯片灌注和细胞裂解。我们概述了分析scRNA-seq数据的步骤,从数据质量控制(QC)到细胞内微生物的检测。有关本方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参考亚达夫等人的研究。
