GigaMune® TELS™
Frustrated with current T cell assays? Take control with a single assay that gives you all the information you need. Discover which individual T cells express FOXP3, TNF-α, or other effector genes—without staining or cell sorting. Starting with a single-cell suspension, GigaMune® TELS™ (TCRβ-Effector Linkage Sequencing) uses unique microfluidics and molecular techniques to physically link T cell variable regions to effector genes expressed within millions of individual T cells in a sample. By sequencing TCRβ-effector linkage products, GigaMune® TELS™ gives you simultaneous, quantitative measurements of T cell clonal identity and effector gene activity. Never has a single assay combined accurate measures of T cell identity, clonality, expansion, and function. Let GigaMune® TELS™ revolutionize your understanding of the T cell response.
T cell identity, function, and abundancein a single assay.

Tissue is dissociated into a single-cell suspension. Acceptable
tissues include peripheral blood and organ biopsies.
Pre-sorting by flow cytometry or magnetic beads is optional.
Cells are loaded onto a microfluidic device and individually
isolated in picoliter microdroplets at a rate of hundreds of cells
per second.
Single cells are lysed within microdroplets, and reagents and
multiplexed primers are delivered. cDNA is synthesized from
rearranged TCRβ genes and effector genes, followed by physical
linkage of TCRβ cDNA and effector cDNA. These processes all
occur within microdroplets, so that linked cDNA originates from an
individual cell.
Microdroplets are coalesced together and linkage products are
purified. Tags are added to linkage products in preparation for
massively parallel sequencing of TCRβ CDR3 regions linked to
effector genes expressed by the same T cell clone.
