What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart. Read from the summary: GEO's own type field only says 'expression profiling by sequencing', so confirm it in the paper.
Organism
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
10 samples: 10 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groupsGroups are read from the sample names, not from the paper. Check the list below.
Data you can get
A processed table (series matrix) and supplementary files from NCBI; the raw sequencing reads from ENA. Which of these hold counts depends on the study, so check the file list.

Summary (written by the submitters)
Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a significant complication of CAR T-cell therapy, affecting 20% to 70% of patients. Unraveling the mechanisms underlying ICANS is crucial for improving patient outcomes. This study employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cells from ICANS patients, uncovering a ICANS-specific increase in proliferating T cells compared to controls that contained both CAR and non-CAR expressing cells indicating bystander activation.
Read the full summary ↓
These ICANS-specific proliferating T cells showed elevated expression of cytotoxic genes and the chemokine receptor gene CXCR6. Spatial transcriptomic mapping of postmortem choroid plexus and brain parenchyma of a patient with lethal ICANS revealed widespread myeloid cell infiltration and the spatial association of CXCR6+ T cells to CXCL16-expressing myeloid cells. These findings suggest that the CXCL16/CXCR6 axis may drive the recruitment of cytotoxic CAR CD4 T cells to the central nervous system during ICANS, potentially contributing to its pathogenesis and suggesting diagnostic and therapeutic potential.

This dataset
Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE269379_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1121305 and SRA study SRP512497. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
10 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 10 sample titles: 10 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
