Camelids produce both conventional tetrameric antibodies (Abs) and dimeric heavy-chain antibodies (HCAbs). Although B cells that generate these two types of Abs exhibit distinct B cell receptors (BCRs), whether these two B cell populations differ in their phenotypes and developmental processes remains unclear. Here, we performed single-cell 5 ' RNA profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples from Bactrian camels before and after immunization. We characterized the functional subtypes and differentiation trajectories of circulating B cells in camels, and reconstructed single-cell BCR sequences. We found that in contrast to humans, the proportion of Tbet+ B cells was high among camelid peripheral B cells. Several marker genes of human B cell subtypes, including CD27 and IGHD, were expressed at low levels in the corresponding camel B cell subtypes. Camelid B cells expressing variable genes of HACbs (VHH) were widely present in various functional subtypes and showed highly overlapping differentiation trajectories with B cells expressing variable genes of conventional Abs (VH). After immunization, the transcriptional changes in VHH+ and VH+ B cells were largely consistent. Through structure modeling, we identified a variety of scaffold types among the reconstructed VHH sequences. Our study provides insights into the cellular context of HCAb production in camels and lays the foundation for developing single-B cell-based camelid single-domain Ab screening.
