Development of single-cell transcriptomic atlas of human plasmacytoid dendritic cells from people with HIV-1

Abstract

Summary: Many immunological treatment strategies for reducing the HIV-1 reservoir and enhancing adaptive immunity aim at activating the human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Here, we present a protocol for pDC enrichment, single-cell analysis, and development of a pDC transcriptomic database from healthy individuals and people with HIV-1 before and after Toll-like receptor 9 agonist treatment.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Cham et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
