CyTOF—the next generation of cell detection

A Correction to this article was published on 01 October 2012

This article has been updated

A new single cell detection technology allows simultaneous measurement of up to 100 surface markers and signaling proteins of immune cells. This method provides the opportunity to make great advances into the scientific understanding of rheumatic disease and the provision of individualized patient care.
