Processing Human Thymic Tissue for Single Cell RNA-Seq
Summary: Single cell RNA sequencing of human thymic cells is dependent on isolation of highly pure and viable cell populations. This protocol describes the isolation of CD34+ progenitor and more differentiated CD34– fractions from post-natal thymic tissue to study thymopoiesis. CD34+ cells represent...

| Summary: | Summary: Single cell RNA sequencing of human thymic cells is dependent on isolation of highly pure and viable cell populations. This protocol describes the isolation of CD34+ progenitor and more differentiated CD34– fractions from post-natal thymic tissue to study thymopoiesis. CD34+ cells represent <1% of thymic cells, so this protocol uses magnetic- followed by fluorescence-activated cell separation to isolate highly enriched CD34+ cells.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Le et al. (2020). |
