Natural killer T follicular helper (NKT FH) cell, a recently identified B-cell helper innate cell
population, can be easily missed due to its low frequency and the fact that it only forms upon
immunization or infection with glycolipid-containing antigens or microbes. Here, we describe
our in-house optimized protocol to detect these mouse NKT FH cells by multiparameter flow
cytometer.
