Flow Cytometry in Immunology Research

Dear Colleagues,

Flow cytometry has become an indispensable tool for immunologists, offering a powerful way to analyze large number of cells rapidly on a single-cell basis. Researchers can measure multiple cellular features simultaneously, creating a more comprehensive picture of immune cell behavior. Flow cytometry can also be used to sort out specific cell populations based on their properties, enabling multiple applications of these isolated cells. Technological advancements result in a rapid increase in the number of available dyes as well as allowing instruments to detect a larger number and variety of parameters. The introduction of spectral and imaging flow cytometry further increases dramatically the amount of available information and deepens our understanding of immunological processes. 

This Special Issue will include many novel immunological applications utilizing flow cytometry, including multi-parametric immuno-phenotyping in various disease models, host-pathogen interactions, cancer immunology, immunological functional assays and methods, new analytical tools, and other related topics.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
