Protocol to characterize immune cell subpopulations in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with neuroinflammatory diseases using mass cytometry

Gallaccio, G., Wang, M., Schlickeiser, S., Kunkel, D., Böttcher, C., & Fernández-Zapata, C. (2024). STAR Protocols, 5(2), 103038. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro.2024.103038 Phenotypic and compositional changes of immune cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be used as biomarkers to help diagnose and track disease activity for neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we present a workflow to perform high-dimensional […]
