The data analysis framework has been implemented using the R language. The codes along with a tutorial is available in GitHub
https://github.com/dkleftogi/singleCellClassification.
Data pre-processing and normalisation of all CyTOF samples is described in
Tislevoll et al. (2023). Nat Commun 14, 115.
All fcs files have been compensated by the Catalyst pipeline,
then normalized with the CytoNorm (without clustering), which is described in Tislevoll, as cited below.
After the acquisition, the collected data was normalized to EQ bead standard67. Cells were gated by DNA-Ir191 versus event length, followed by the exclusion of cell doublets through stringent gating using the two DNA stain channels (Ir191/Ir193). Files were debarcoded using a single-cell debarcode algorithm (
https://github.com/nolanlab/single-cell-debarcoder). All data were arcsinh-transformed (cofactor 5). To limit the possibility of spillover between antibodies channels, the data were compensated according to the CATALYST (Cytometry Data analysis tools) pipeline.
https://doi.org/10.18129/B9.bioc.CATALYST. The study was performed before the compensation method was available, and we, therefore, used beads created in a later experiment for compensation. The beads were stained with other antibodies conjugated to the same metal isotopes. We assume the difference in metal abundance between the two experiments is negligible, and that the potential difference in metal abundance between the two experiments will be outweighed by the advantage of compensating for the data.
Subsequently, based on the reference samples, all samples were standardized across the seven barcodepools using quantile normalization. Barcodepool 7 was selected as the normalization standard as it had the best separation of populations and the least background staining when the median intensity of all surface markers was compared between barcodes. Standardization was performed following the CytoNorm approach, but without clustering, in 101 quantiles69. In short, we calculated 0–100% quantiles for the reference samples in each barcode. For each barcode, we then calculated the piecewise linear function whose value at the ith quantile is the ith quantile of the reference barcode. Subsequently, the piecewise linear functions were applied to all non-reference samples.
