Cytometry PART A, Volume 91, Issue 10, 966–968 (2017)
Kinga K. Smolen, Bing Cai, Tobias R. Kollmann

Description: The purpose of the panel presented here is to assess the innate immune response in whole blood after Toll‐like receptor (TLR) ligand or cytokine stimulation, at the single‐cell level. In addition to the identification of many of the innate and innate‐adaptive interface immune cell subsets, this panel also enables the detection of key intracellular cytokines involved in the immune response.

Species: Human

Tissue: Peripheral blood

Cell Subset: Neutrophil, T cell, Mdc/cdc, Pdc, Nk, Monocyte

Keyword: Activation, Toll-like receptor (tlr)

Machine: BD LSR2
