Methods for single-cell proteomics
This section organizes mass spectrometry methods for single-cell protein analysis developed in the Slavov Laboratory. The methods are organized by the year of first publication, which is often a preprint. Each method links to datasets generated by the method, which are organized in the data section of this web portal. All methods label single cells with mass tags (barcodes), which allows simultaneous analysis of multiple cells in parallel. This facilitates scaling up and reducing the cost per single cell.
Shotgun single-cell proteomics
SCoPE-MS and its second version SCoPE2 can analyze thousands of proteins selected in order of their abundance in the samples.
Prioritized single-cell proteomics
pSCoPE can analyze thousands of proteins selected in order of their priority for the biological questions and projects of interest.
Parallel analysis of both single cells and peptides
plexDIA quantifies about a thousand proteins per single cell while parallelizing the analysis of both single cells and peptides. It does not use a carrier sample.
