TL;DR: This special Cytometry Part A issue includes the first OMIP describing a mass cytometry panel for the immune phenotype of human peripheral leukocytes together with a series of manuscripts introducing new reagents, protocols, quality controls and, also, a nice example of how the multidimensional nature ofmass cytometry can address important biological question such as the status of a “challenged” immune system.

TL;DR: EpicTags was developed, which was coupled to multiplex ion beam imaging (EpicMIBI) for in situ tracking of barcodes within tissue microenvironments, and can facilitate in situ interrogation of cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsics processes involved in intratumoral heterogeneity.

TL;DR: WebFlow provides a novel platform for quantitative analysis of flow cytometric data from high-throughput drug screening or disease profiling experiments, and enables plate-based annotation of large data sets, which provides the basis for exploratory data analysis tools and rapid visualization of multiple different parameters.

TL;DR: EBI3 dampens the immune response against MCMV infection, resulting in prolonged viral persistence, and provides insight into how CMV establishes latent infection.
