BD® OMICS-One Innate Immuno-Oncology Protein Panel
Regulatory Status Legend
Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
Description
The BD® OMICS-One Innate Immuno-Oncology Protein Panel consists of 6 single tubes, 2 tubes of Tumor Protein Panel (1 test/tube) containing 30 different specificities against major Tumor markers, 2 tubes of NK-Cell Protein Panel (1 test/tube) containing 30 different specificities against major NK-Cell markers, and 2 tubes of APC/Myeloid-Cell Protein Panel (1 test/tube) containing 30 different specificities against major APC/Myeloid-Cell markers. Designed and optimized to work on the BD Rhapsody™ System, the Innate Immuno-Oncology Protein Panel is tested to work seamlessly alongside the BD Rhapsody™ Whole Transcriptome Analysis (WTA) Assay, Targeted mRNA Assay, BD® Single-Cell Multiplexing Kit (SMK), BD® Intracellular CITE-seq (IC-AbSeq) Assay, and BD Rhapsody™ TCR/BCR Next Multiomic Assay for human. The individual antibodies were each conjugated to an oligonucleotide that contains a specific antibody barcode sequence flanked by a polyA tail on the 3' end and a common PCR handle (PCR primer binding site) on the 5' end. All AbSeq barcode sequences were generated in-silico with minimal sequence similarity to the human genomes, have low predicted secondary structure, and have high Hamming distance within the BD antibody-oligo portfolio, to allow for sequencing error correction and unique mapping. The polyA tail of the oligonucleotide allows the barcode sequence to be captured by BD Rhapsody™ Enhanced Cell Capture Beads. The 5' PCR handle allows for efficient library generation for various sequencing platforms. Each individual antibody exists at an optimal concentration within the 84-plex panel to enable superior target and population resolution.
The Innate Immuno-Oncology Protein Panel is designed with SMART technology. SMART technology helps lower sequencing cost while increasing data resolution by attenuating antibodies that target high-expressing primary markers and allowing reallocation of sequencing reads to markers expressed at lower levels. With SMART technology, markers low in expression can be quantified without having to do deeper sequencing and incurring high sequencing cost. There are six specificities attenuated in the Innate Immuno-Oncology Protein Panel, CD2 and CD31, CD44, CD45, HLA-DR, and HLA-ABC.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
This reagent is provided lyophilized in a pre-titrated format. Each test can stain up to 2 million cells.
1. Remove one tube of BD® OMICS-One Tumor Protein Panel, one tube of BD® OMICS-One NK-Cell Protein Panel and one tube of
BD® OMICS-One APC/Myeloid-Cell Protein Panel from foil bags and bring up to room temperature for 5 minutes.
2. Make sure all pellets are located at the bottom of the tubes. If not, briefly centrifuge to collect the contents at the tube bottom.
3. For each tube, add 35 µL of nuclease-free water to the bottom of the tube and allow antibodies to reconstitute for 5 minutes at room temperature.
4. Place the reconstituted antibodies on ice until the cells are ready for staining.
Note: Reconstitute antibody immediately before cell staining. Prolonged incubation of reconstituted antibody may increase the non-specific background.
5. For BD® AbSeq Ab-Oligo drop-in of 25 plex or lower, prepare the BD® AbSeq labeling MasterMix in 1.5-mL LoBind tube on ice.
Note: For drop-in with more than 25 plex, reach out to technical support for calculation.
If sequential labeling with Sample Tags or no Sample Tags, prepare BD® AbSeq labeling MasterMix for drop-ins as follows:
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Component 1 sample (µL) 1 sample + 2 samples +
30% overage (µL) 30% overage (µL)
Per BD® AbSeq Ab-Oligo 2.0 2.6 5.2
Total of BD® AbSeq Ab-Oligo 2.0 × N* 2.6 × N 5.2 × N
FBS† (catalog number 554656) 70 – (2.0 x N) 91 – (2.6 x N) 182 – (5.2 x N)
Total 70 91 182
If co-labeling with Sample Tags, prepare BD® AbSeq labeling MasterMix for drop-ins as specified as follows:
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Component 1 sample (µL) 1 sample + 2 samples +
30% overage (µL) 30% overage (µL)
Per BD® AbSeq Ab-Oligo 2.0 2.6 5.2

FBS† (catalog number 554656) 50 – (2.0 × N) 65 – (2.6 × N) 130 – (5.2 × N)
Total 50 65 130
* N = number of drop-in antibodies. N = 0 if there are no drop-in antibodies.
† FBS = BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer.
6. Pipet-mix the BD® AbSeq labeling MasterMix for drop-ins. Briefly centrifuge to collect the contents at the bottom, and place back on ice.
7. For sequential labeling with Sample Tags or no Sample Tags, for each sample, combine the three tubes containing 35 μL reconstituted NK-Cell Protein Panel solution, 35 μL reconstituted APC/Myeloid-Cell Protein Panel solution, and 35 μL reconstituted Tumor Protein Panel solution. Then add 70 μL BD® AbSeq labeling MasterMix of drop-ins to the tube containing 105 μL reconstituted Tumor, NK-Cell and APC/Myeloid-Cell Protein Panels solution to make a total volume of 175 μL.
For co-labeling with Sample Tags, for each sample, combine the three tubes containing 35 μL reconstituted NK-Cell Protein Panel solution,
35 μL reconstituted APC/Myeloid-Cell Protein Panel solution, and 35 μL reconstituted Tumor Protein Panel solution. Then add 50 μL
BD® AbSeq labeling MasterMix of drop-ins and 20 μL Sample Tag to the tube containing total 105μL Tumor, NK-Cell and APC/Myeloid-Cell Protein Panels solution to make a total volume of 175 μL.
8. Pipet-mix the mixture, briefly centrifuge to collect the contents at the tube bottom, and place back on ice.
9. Centrifuge cells at 400 × g for 5 minutes. If Fc Block is used, proceed to step 10. If Fc Block is not used, skip to step 11.
10. (Optional) For samples containing myeloid and B lymphocytes, BD Biosciences recommends blocking nonspecific Fc Receptor–mediated false-positive signals with Human BD Fc Block (catalog number 564220).
a. To perform blocking, pipet the Fc Block MasterMix into a new 1.5-mL LoBind tube on ice:
_________________________________________________________________________________
Component 1 sample (µL)* 1 sample + 20% overage (µL)
FBS† (catalog number 554656) 20.0 24.0
Fc Block‡ (catalog number 564220) 5.0 6.0
Total 25.0 30.0
* Sufficient for up to 1 million cells. To block more cells, adjust the volume.
† FBS = BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer.
‡ Fc Block = BD Pharmingen™ Human BD Fc Block.
b. Pipet-mix the Fc Block MasterMix and briefly centrifuge. Place on ice.
c. Remove the supernatant from the cells without disturbing the pellet.
d. Resuspend the cells in 25 μL of Fc Block MasterMix.
e. Incubate the cells at room temperature (15°C to 25°C) for 10 minutes.
f. Add 175 μL of BD® AbSeq labeling MasterMix from Step 8 into the cell suspension. Pipet-mix and proceed to Step 12.
11. Remove the supernatant from the cells without disturbing the pellet. Add 25 μL Stain Buffer (FBS) to the 175 μL of BD® AbSeq labeling MasterMix from Step 8 to make a total volume of 200 μL. Resuspend the cell pellet in 200 μL total volume. Pipet-mix.
12. Transfer the cells with BD® AbSeq labeling MasterMix into a new 5-mL polystyrene Falcon tube.
13. Stain the cells on ice for 30 minutes.
14. Add 3-4 mL Stain Buffer (FBS) to labelled cells and pipet-mix.
15. Centrifuge at 400 × g for 5 minutes.
16. Uncap the tube and invert to decant supernatant into biohazardous waste. Keep the tube inverted and gently blot on a lint-free wiper to remove residual supernatant from tube rim.
17. Repeat steps 14–16 twice more for a total of three washes.
18. Resuspend the final washed cell pellet in 620 µL cold Sample Buffer from the BD Rhapsody™ Enhanced Cartridge Reagent V3
(catalog number 667052) and proceed to single cell capture with on-cartridge washing described in substeps a–c. Refer to the
