Intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) is a functional immunology assay that uses flow cytometry to assess cytokine production by individual cells. Cytokines play a critical role in developing both physiologically appropriate and pathological immune responses. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is an excellent example of this, where it has a key role in antiviral…
