Dissociation of human oral mucosal tissue for single-cell applications

Summary: Oral mucosal tissue is composed of several cell types that are difficult to dissociate while maintaining high cell viability. We describe a protocol for the preparation and dissociation of human buccal and gingival oral mucosal tissue to a high-viability single-cell suspension composed of h...

description Summary: Oral mucosal tissue is composed of several cell types that are difficult to dissociate while maintaining high cell viability. We describe a protocol for the preparation and dissociation of human buccal and gingival oral mucosal tissue to a high-viability single-cell suspension composed of heterogeneous cell types. This heterogeneous cell suspension can subsequently be used for cytometric analyses or to generate single-cell RNA sequencing libraries.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Williams et al. (2021).
