Cellular barcoding enables the dissection of clonal dynamics in heterogeneous cell populations through single cell lineage tracing. The labeling of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) with unique and heritable DNA barcodes, makes it possible to resolve donor cell heterogeneity in terms of differentiation potential and lineage bias at the single cell level, through subsequent transplantation and high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore, cellular barcoding allows for bona fide hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to be defined based on functional rather than immunophenotypic parameters.
This protocol describes the work flow of lentiviral cellular barcoding, tracking 14.5 days post coitum (d.p.c.) fetal liver (FL) Lineage-Sca+cKit+ (LSK) HSPCs following long-term reconstitution (Figure 1) (Kristiansen et al., 2016), but can be adapted to the cell type or time frame of choice.
