Multi-color flow cytometry has become a valuable and highly informative tool for diagnosis
and therapeutic monitoring of patients with immune deficiencies or inflammatory disorders.
However, the method complexity and error-prone conventional manual data analysis often
result in a high variability between different analysts and research laboratories. Here, we
provide strategies and guidelines aiming at a more standardized multi-color flow cytometric
staining and unsupervised data analysis for whole blood patient samples.
