The immune system consists of many different cell types, whose functions and interactions govern the immune response. In research, the specific composition of cell surface antigens is exploited to accurately define the different cell types. Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry is the most common method to identify, quantify, and isolate immune cells within mixed populations. However, selecting which antigens are best to identify a specific cell type can be challenging due to the vast number of research articles and lack of consensus around immunophenotyping panels.

In response to this issue, we have reviewed over 250 research articles studying human and mouse cells and compiled the most commonly used markers for each immune cell type. With this selection, you can quickly and easily build your own immunophenotyping panel, freeing up more of your time for research.

What to expect

  • Easily select myeloid and lymphoid lineage-specific markers, as well as markers of hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells.
  • Choose markers for both human and mouse immune cells.
  • Markers common to different cell types are also provided for easy depletion of cell groups in your experiments
