Freshly sorted CD45RA-negative CD3+CD4+, and CD3+CD8+ single cells from four patients were individually flow-sorted into 96-well full-skirted plates (Eppendorf) containing 10 µL of 2% Dithiothreitol (DTT, 2 M Sigma-Aldrich), RTL lysis buffer (Qiagen) solution. Cell lysates were sealed, mixed and spun down before storing at −80 °C. Paired-end multiplexed sequencing libraries were prepared following the Smart-seq 2 (SS2) protocol33 using the Nextera XT DNA library prep kit (Illumina). A pool of barcoded libraries from four different plates were sequenced across two lanes on the Illumina HiSeq 2500.
