We developed this whole blood immunophenotyping panel with the aim to monitor and quantify major lymphocyte subsets (CD4+, CD8+, CD4+CD8+ αβ T cells, γδ-T cells, B and NK cells) and monocytes in pigs. The panel involved the use of commercially available reagents, avoiding secondary antibody staining or in-house antibody conjugations, with the aim to make the assay accessible and reproducible across laboratories. The assay is accurate, robust and represents a useful tool for immune monitoring of swine in the pharmacology and toxicology fields, or to monitor the immune status in response to vaccination and diseases.
