We have developed spatial transcriptomics of variable, diversity, and joining (VDJ) sequences (Spatial VDJ), a method that maps B cell and T cell receptor sequences in human tissue sections. Spatial VDJ captures lymphocyte clones that match canonical B and T cell distributions and amplifies clonal sequences confirmed by orthogonal methods. We found spatial congruency between paired receptor chains, developed a computational framework to predict receptor pairs, and linked the expansion of distinct B cell clones to different tumor-associated gene expression programs. Spatial VDJ delineates B cell clonal diversity and lineage trajectories within their anatomical niche. Thus, Spatial VDJ captures lymphocyte spatial clonal architecture across tissues, providing a platform to harness clonal sequences for therapy.", "doi": "10.1126/science.adf8486", "pmid": "38060664", "labels": {"SciLifeLab Fellow": "", "Camilla Engblom": ""}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2026-09-23T07:29:32.990Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T07:29:33.273Z"}
