Allen Institute for Immunology unveils landmark Human Immune Health Atlas

"... The atlas provides detailed profiles of 71 distinct immune cell subsets, based on the analysis of 1.8 million cells taken from over 100 healthy volunteers [aged 11-65]. This high-resolution view addresses a critical need in immunology research for a resource that accurately reflects the immune system’s complexity and diversity.  ..."
