Single-cell multiplexed phenotypic analysis expands the biomarkers for diagnosis, heralding a new era of precision medicine. Cell secretions are the primary measures of immune function, but single-cell screening remains challenging. Here, a novel cell membrane-based assay was developed using cholesterol-linked antibodies (CLAbs), integrating immunosorbent assays and droplet microfluidics to develop a flexible high-throughput single-cell secretion assay for multiplexed phenotyping. CLAb-grafted single cells were encapsulated in water-in-oil droplets to capture their own secretions. Subsequently, the cells were extracted from droplets for fluorescence labeling and screening. Multiple secretions and surface proteins were simultaneously measured from single cells by flow cytometry. To validate the approach, THP-1 cells, THP-1-derived M1 macrophages, and dendritic cells were assayed, indicating the differentiation efficiency of THP-1 cells under different chemical stimulations. Moreover, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors under various stimuli showed varied active immune cell populations (6.62-47.14%). The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were analyzed to identify a higher percentage of actively cytokine-secreted single cells in the basal state (2.82 +/- 1.48%), compared with that in the health donors (0.70 +/- 0.29%).
