Multiparameter flow cytometry of human lungs allows for characterization, isolation, and examination of human pulmonary immune cell composition, phenotype, and function. Here we describe an approach to process lung tissues and then utilize a base antibody panel to define all of the major immune cell types in a single staining condition. This base antibody panel can also be used to identify major immune cell types in human blood and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid.
