Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) CH31 precursor adoptive transfer and priming schema. B6.SJL CD45.1+ mice were reconstituted with graded numbers of CD45.2+ CH31 UCA hom/hom dKI B cells ( ; Methods) and primed for 8d with eODGT7 or eODGT8 np’s. (B-D) Flow cytometric analysis of GC recruitment in primed CH31 UCA hom/hom dKI →WT chimeras. (B) GC occupancy, defined as the percentage of GC B cells (B220+CD19+CD38–GL7+) that are donor-derived (CD45.2+) and ‘on-target’ (eODGT bait+, KI HC+LC). (C) Representative gating strategy for calculation of the GC ‘specificity index’ ie, on-target donor GC B cells divided by ‘off-target’ (CD45.1+eODGT-) recipient GC B cells. (D) GC recruitment specificity index (on/off-target ratio) following eODGT7 or eODGT8 np priming. Each point represents one primed chimera. (E–I) 10x paired HC/LC sequencing and SHM analysis of individual GC B cells from primed chimeras reconstituted at low (∼1:10 5 ) or ultra-low (∼1:10 6 ) precursor frequencies, corresponding to physiological human estimates and the lower limit of reproducible reconstitution, respectively , . (E) HC/LC pairing status of single-sorted donor GC B cells, with bona fide (V(D)J sequence verified) on-target clones indicated. Pies show HC/LC pairing composition of donor GC B cells; black slices mark on-target CH31 UCA pairs and center values denote unique cell counts. (F) Total SHM distributions among on-target CH31 clones, with bar graphs showing the fraction of on-target CH31 clones that remain germline versus those acquiring ≥1 aa substitution, and accompanying pie charts stratifying mutated clones by aa substitution number. (G) Frequency of VRC01/CH31-class key V H contact residue substitutions among mutated on-target clones . (H) Frequency and distribution of pre-indel events in CH31 HC rearrangements, stratified by HC region and indel length , . (I) Positional distribution of CH31 HC aa mutations across on-target pairs, with AID hotspot motifs (WRC/GYW and WGCW; W =A/T, R=A/G, Y=C/T) indicated by blocks and previously reported insertion sites denoted by arrows , , . Data in panels (F) and (H) represent pooled 10x Ig-seq single cells from chimeras over two independent experiments (five pools; 18 mice per 1/10 5 -reconstituted group; 6 mice per 1/10 6 -reconstituted group, n =48 total). Data in panels (G) to (I) comprise chimeras reconstituted at physiological (1/105) precursor frequencies. Statistical comparisons used Mann–Whitney U tests. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001; ns, not significant.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic of the CH31 precursor transfer and priming strategy. B6.SJL CD45.1 recipients received purified CD45.2⁺ CH31 UCA hom/hom dKI B cells and, after 24h, resulting CH31 UCA hom/hom dKI →WT chimeras (reconstituted at 1:10 5 precursor frequency) were primed for 8 or 16 days with eOD monomers, low-valency tetramers, or high-valency np’s (poly I:C–formulated), or poly I:C alone, prior to GC B cell recovery for flow cytometric phenotyping and 10x paired Ig seq ( n per group indicated). (B) Flow cytometric quantification of donor-derived, on-target GC B cells (live singlet B220⁺CD19⁺CD38⁻GL7⁺CD45.2⁺eODGT bait⁺) shown as the fraction of total GC B cells at day 8 ( top ) or day 16 ( bottom ). Each dot represents one primed CH31 UCA hom/hom dKI chimera. Significance relative to eODGT7 np was determined by Mann–Whitney U tests. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001; ****p<0.0001. (C–D) Immunofluorescence validation of enhanced CH31 precursor recruitment and GC persistence following eODGT7 np priming. (C) Representative spleen cryosection images from chimeras primed for 16 days with eODGT7 or eODGT8 np’s; boxed regions indicate GC closeups. Note the persistently high fraction of donor CH31 UCA hom/hom dKI (CD45.2⁺) B cells in individual GCs across the spleen (top) of an eODGT7 np–immunized animal at this later time point. (D) Quantification of donor CH31 GC occupancy (CD45.2⁺ area within GL7⁺ GCs) at days 8 and 16, shown as violin plots with medians (blue bars). Each dot represents one GC. Data are pooled from three mice per group. Total GCs analyzed were 698/465 (eODGT7, d8/d16) and 505/325 (eODGT8, d8/d16). Mann–Whitney test; ****p<0.0001. (E-F) SHM magnitude, positional distribution in, and kinetics of, CH31-derived V(D)J rearrangements following eODGT7 np priming, compared with eODGT8 np or eODGT8 tetramer priming. GC B cells were isolated by flow sorting and analyzed by paired 10x Ig-seq. (E) Pie charts show SHM distributions among bona fide on-target CH31 UCA HC/LC pairs, with slices indicating total aa substitutions. ≥1000 unique, non-oligoclonal sequences from ≥5 pooled mice per group were analyzed. Data from eODGT8 np–primed mice are omitted due to insufficient recovered precursors. (F) Frequency of CH31 UCA HC aa mutations by residue position among all on-target pairs. AID hotspots (WRC/GYW and WGCW) are indicated by pink blocks. Previously reported insertion sites from bnAb lineage retracement , or vaccine-induced maturation are marked by arrows. (G) T follicular helper (T fh ) cell responses in chimeras primed for 8 or 16 days with eODGT7 or eODGT8 np’s, or eODGT8 tetramers. Shown is the percentage of live, singlet splenocytes that were T fh (CD4⁺CD44⁺CD62L⁻PD1⁺CXCR5⁺CD25⁻CD127⁺) at peak GC occupancy (d8) or peak SHM (d16). Gating strategy is shown in Fig S16.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) SRAgent workflow: A hierarchical AI-driven pipeline for automated dataset discovery and metadata curation from the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). SRAgent systematically queries NCBI tools (e.g., eSearch , eFetch ) to identify 10X Genomics datasets, retrieve metadata (e.g., tissue type, library preparation chemistry), and store structured annotations in a GCP SQL database. ( B ) scRecounter pipeline: A Nextflow -based workflow for processing raw single-cell sequencing reads into gene expression count matrices. scRecounter downloads and aligns sequencing reads using STARsolo , automatically detects optimal barcode parameters, and generates harmonized expression matrices stored in h5ad format. Process tracking is managed via a PostgreSQL database hosted on GCP. ( C ) scRecounter uses multiple feature annotation and multimapping strategies to generate a variety of cell× gene count tables. Users can choose the option that best suits their application. We currently provide access to all variations in scBaseCamp.

Article Snippet: In total, SRAgent has processed 63,892 datasets, of which 43,587 were identified as 10X Genomics sequencing libraries.
