Recently, powerful methods that use single-cell genomic technologies to dissect physically interacting cells have been developed. However, these approaches are characterized by low cellular throughput, long processing times and high costs and are typically restricted to predefined cell types. Here we introduce Interact-omics, a cytometry-based framework to accurately map cellular landscapes and cellular interactions across all immune cell types at ultra-high resolution and scale. We demonstrate the utility of our approach to study kinetics, mode of action and personalized response prediction of immunotherapies, and organism-wide shifts in cellular composition and cellular interaction dynamics following infection in vivo. Our scalable framework can be applied a posteriori to existing cytometry datasets or incorporated into newly designed cytometry-based studies to map cellular interactions with a broad range of applications from fundamental biology to applied biomedicine. Interact-omics, a high-throughput cytometry-based framework, resolves the cellular interaction landscape.","PeriodicalId":18981,"journal":{"name":"Nature Methods","volume":"22 9","pages":"1887-1899"},"PeriodicalIF":32.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12446065/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144799713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current approaches for discovering binders are laborious and time-consuming, taking months or more, and have a high failure rate. Here we establish phage-assisted noncontinuous selection of protein binders (PANCS-Binders), an in vivo selection platform that links the life cycle of M13 phage to target protein binding through proximity-dependent split RNA polymerase biosensors, allowing for comprehensive screening of whether a variant binds a target with high fidelity. We showcase PANCS-Binders by screening multiple protein libraries each against a panel of 95 separate targets, thereby individually assessing more than 1011 protein–protein interaction pairs, in 2 days. These selections yielded large, high-quality datasets and hundreds of novel binders, which can be affinity matured or directly used in mammalian cells to inhibit or degrade targets. We believe that PANCS-Binders accelerates and simplifies the binder discovery process, which will help unlock new creative potential in proteome targeting with engineered binder-based biotechnologies. Phage-assisted noncontinuous selection of protein binders (PANCS-Binders) allows multiple high-diversity protein libraries to each be screened against a panel of dozens of targets for high-throughput protein binder discovery.","PeriodicalId":18981,"journal":{"name":"Nature Methods","volume":"22 8","pages":"1720-1730"},"PeriodicalIF":32.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12328212/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144794913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
