Track protein expression of key cell surface receptors, lineage markers, and regulatory molecules to monitor shifts in cell type abundance and activation status. The Immune Cell Profiling panel enables precise, digital detection of the most important cell surface targets in your immuno-oncology research.
- 30-plex protein detection from as few as 20,000 cells
- Comprehensive coverage of the Cancer Immunity Cycle
- Compatible with fresh and cryopreserved cell suspensions such as PMBC
- Multi-analyte analysis when combined with RNA assays
- Customize with up to 5 targets of your choice
