Description: This panel was developed to characterize the two most commonly studied invariant T cell subsets: mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells and invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells in humans and measure their expression of exhaustion and activation markers. The panel was optimized and designed for application in cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Designed to be used to measure frequency and phenotype of invariant T cell subtypes in acute HIV‐1 infection, optimization was performed on chronically HIV‐1 infected and uninfected donors and can be applied to a variety of human disease cohorts.
