Figure Lengend Snippet: Single cell analysis of patients with collagenous gastritis (A) Workflow for the collection of biopsies from the duodenum and stomach of control and patients with CG. Black and gray arrows indicate which tissues (stomach and duodenum, respectively) were processed by which methods. X indicates the approximate location of all biopsies. (B) Controls (H1-6) and CG biopsies were processed as fresh, unsorted biopsies for gene expression (GEX) libraries; frozen biopsies were CD45-sorted and processed for GEX and T cell receptor (TCR) libraries. CG patient “A” had a pre- and post-steroid biopsy collected for CD45-sorting (“A”; “Apost”), and “D” had a second biopsy (“D2”). (C) UMAP of all patients/samples, both unsorted and CD45-sorted. (D) Violin plot of canonical cluster-defining gene expression across clusters from (C). (E) Cluster frequency per sample. See also and .
