Abstract:Monitoring T cell repertoires in human tissues provides important insights into immune response mechanisms in cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmunity. However, retrieving VDJ information from single-cell and spatial transcriptomics workflows with 3’-barcoding of cDNA remains resource-intensive or requires specialized sequencing equipment. Here, we introduce circVDJ-seq for simplified and cost-efficient T cell receptor (TCR) profiling from 3’-directed workflows like single-cell or single-nucleus RNA sequencing, ATAC + RNA multi-omics, and spatial transcriptomics. Application of circVDJ-seq to freshly resected neuroblastomas and postmortem lymph nodes affected by pneumonia or COVID-19 reveals distinct immune microenvironments and T cell clonality patterns, highlighting broad utility across diverse clinical contexts.
