Project Introduction

Welcome to immgenT, the meta world of mouse T cells!

The immgen T Open Source Project is a collaborative effort involving 100 participants across 41 laboratories, working together to create the most comprehensive atlas of T cells in the mouse immune system. The goal is to profile every T cell in every body location and capture their diverse states in response to immunological challenges. Profiling was performed at the single-cell level, integrating mRNA sequencing, surface protein expression (CITE-seq/TotalSeq), and TCR-V sequencing (paired α/β chains). The TotalSeq panel of 128 antibodies was developed in collaboration with BioLegend. The first draft of the T cell universe consists of 627,692 mature T cells, analyzed across 738 samples and 80 experiments, revealing a structured landscape of 8 major populations and 114 distinct subpopulations. Following ImmGen's tradition of open science, all data are now publicly available through (the Rosetta browser), developed by Dania Mallah, Niket Patel, and Brinda Vijaykumar. You can explore specific datasets, compare them to other T cell references, and navigate a flow cytometry-like visualization of surface marker expression.
