Effector T cell markers

Accurately phenotype human effector T cell subsets with the best markers.

​​So that you can quickly and accurately find the most relevant markers for immunophenotyping human effector T cells, we've compiled markers from the literature into a detailed poster. The poster includes

  • A summarized T cell differentiation lineage
  • Surface and secreted markers
  • Transcription factor markers
