Description: This 21-color flow cytometry-based OMIP enables simultaneous quantification of monocytes, basophils, granulocytes, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, B cells, and all well-defined T and T helper cell subsets in the human peripheral blood. This panel captures the major phenotypes described in the NIH Human Immunology Project with additional markers for deep T cell analysis. We specifically designed this panel for analysis of peripheral blood from patients involved in our clinical trials of novel agents for the treatment of graft versus host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). We have optimized this panel for the analysis of 1 ×10^6 fresh or previously frozen peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
