If you have trained in the field of immunology, it may not be uncommon to emerge with a self-characterization as either a “B-cell immunologist” or a “T-cell immunologist.” Historically, this distinction arose from years of specialization and the degrees of separation between T-cell and B-cell biology research. Approaches to therapeutic…

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…
