Phenotype of bovine mononuclear phagocytes- An update.

Abstract

Studying mononuclear phagocytes by flow cytometry is challenging due to their phenotypic similarities and the high plasticity of monocytic cells. Despite these challenges, significant progress has been made in cattle research through multicolor flow cytometry, transcriptomics of sorted subsets, and single-cell RNA-sequencing. Here, we provide an overview of established and proposed phenotypic classifications in the bovine mononuclear phagocyte system and discuss the challenges of marker discovery.
