Workflow
- 1
Prepare your sample
Label your cells with barcoded antigen assemblies as recommended in the sample prep user guide. Antigen-specific cell populations can be enriched through flow sorting. Compatible cell suspensions include samples from PBMCs, B cells, T cells, mouse splenocytes, and more.

Construct your 10x library
Construct 10x barcoded libraries using our reagent kits and a compatible Chromium instrument. Each member of the Chromium instrument family encapsulates each cell with a 10x barcoded Gel Bead in a single partition. Within the nanoliter-scale partitions, cells undergo reverse transcription to generate cDNA, which shares a 10x Barcode with all cDNA from its individual cell of origin.
Resources - 3
Sequence
The resulting 10x barcoded libraries are compatible with standard NGS short-read sequencing on Illumina sequencers for immune and transcriptional profiling of thousands of individual cells.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. BEAM is integrated seamlessly into the Chromium Single Cell Immune Profiling workflow, allowing you to screen BCRs/TCRs against putative antigens in conjunction with V(D)J sequencing, gene expression, and cell surface protein expression at single cell resolution. Therefore, the assay provides access to full-length, paired immune receptor sequences from antigen-specific clonotypes.
You can multiplex up to 15 antigens per sample for the BEAM workflow. User-supplied antigens must be biotinylated before assembly with 10x Genomics barcoded BEAM Conjugates. These uniquely barcoded BEAM reagent assemblies are then used to label B and T cells.
Most multimer assays are fluorescence-based, meaning that the multimer molecules are tagged with a fluorescent marker that can then be used for sorting antigen-specific cells. These kinds of studies can provide information about the number of antigen-specific cells in a cell population. With BEAM, you can get this information as well as full-length, paired V(D)J sequences of antigen-specific receptors alongside whole transcriptome gene expression data at the single cell level. Together, this data provides complete cellular profiles of antigen-specific clonotypes and deeper insights into the immune response.
Because antigen-specific populations are rare, we recommend sorting for antigen-positive cells prior to 10x Genomics library preparation. However, the decision to sort ultimately depends on the goals of your experiment.
